I got some more beads at Walgreen's that were a bit cheaper so maybe I'll post more when I get a chance. Thanks, I really did enjoy making these.

Very creative. Kinda got me thinking about another astronomy statement - about how they prove the universe isn't infinite because you can only see a finite number of stars. But if what you say is true - that only 1/pi is blocked, then the universe could still be infinite! I like your “pole-blocking proportional to pi” (say that fast 3 times) bead diagram. Very creative.
