I never understood this.
You have to use calculus to prove why it's impossible, IIRC.

Yeah but we only do that kind of calculus in the last year of high school( next year :|).

Wouldn't that turn into a diamond shape and not a circle? :x

Exactly. It's based on the false assumption that the square will become a perfect circle, which it won't.

Pi is, however, pretty much calculated in almost the same way, using diamond shapes.
