Professor puzzles: My favorite anagram

August is puzzles; last week's answer is in the notes below.

This week's puzzle: 64,800. Hint below, answer next week.

Robert Wellman Campbell, "Professor puzzles: My favorite anagram," RSS Longa, 8 August 2024, robbcampbell.com. This week's first hint: While at the School of Mines I started shooting panoramic photos. This week's second hint: Even spherical photos. Last week's answer: Some say the pizza box is half empty and some half full; I say, assuming the pizza touches the sides, the ratio of areas is pi * radius * radius / 4 * radius * radius = prr/4rr = p/4, or 78%. C+, not so bad! We could sell big slices. So the obvious logo would be a square with a quarter-circle diagonal-- or a circle with a quarter-section square in the corner. And the obvious grace is the old Prayer for Landscape Ecology, slightly modified: "He pies-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him." Pie forth, people!
