    OK - they are rounding very badly.
    The 20' radius should look like

    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO

    Rather than

    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO
    OOOOOOOO

    i.e.
    52 squares instead of 44 squares
    Yielding a Pi of 3.25.
    Which is a lot better than the 2.75 we got previously.

    π = 4
    Consider a 5' radius blast: this affects 4 squares which have a circumference of 40' — Actually it's worse than that.
