A "roundabout way" refers to a method or approach that is indirect or not straightforward. Instead of taking the most direct path to achieve a goal or convey a message, it involves a more complex or circuitous route. This can lead to confusion or a longer time to reach the intended outcome. It's often used to describe communication or actions that are unnecessarily complicated.
Yes, when approaching a roundabout, you must give way to vehicles already in the roundabout. This means yielding to traffic coming from your left in countries that drive on the right, or from your right in countries that drive on the left. Always check for pedestrians and cyclists as well, and ensure it's safe to enter before proceeding.
343 x 343 = 76. This is a somewhat roundabout way of asking for a square root !

A roundabout way of saying something refers to expressing an idea or message indirectly or using more words than necessary, often to avoid being straightforward or to soften the impact of the statement. This approach can create ambiguity or confusion, as it may obscure the main point. It is sometimes used in conversation to be polite, diplomatic, or to navigate sensitive topics. However, it can also frustrate listeners who prefer clarity and directness.
A roundabout is of course round. There have been many wild theories over the years that a roundabout is straight, a big piece of evidence that scientists try to back this wild claim up with is that the roundabouts are made up of tiny straight lines connected to other straight lines. However, if you were, for example, driving along one of these straight lines and go to get onto the other one you would have to turn on to it or as many people say go round a 'bend' whether this bend be 90 degrees, 45 degrees or even 179 degrees, you would still be going along a bend. And you go along a bend by going 'round' it, therefore you must be going round a roundabout meaning that it is round! Another piece of evidence, that crazies use, is that there is no such thing as a perfect circle, but as we also know an oval is not a perfect circle but it is still known as round, meaning that a roundabout does not have to be an exact circle to be round. These disproving facts that I have just described explain that the wild theories thought up by one Joseph Pickering (a crazy bird man/ indigo dinosaur) are incorrect and that this child needs special help, especially at FIFA.
