JohnMitchell 16 #3 March 14, 2010 Ahh, Pi day. With several science geeks in our house, it's one of our fav holidays. Usually Vskydiver will cook a pi or two for dinner. Our oldest daughter memorized Pi out to 100+ places back in high school, just for grins. I guess there's competitions for memorizing it out to Lord knows how many places. I read that today is the day MIT announces who's been accepted to their school for the next year, at 1:59 PM. That would be 3/14, 1:59, Get it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belgian_Draft 0 #4 March 14, 2010 I once watched a high school student recite pi to 500 decimal places. Hell, I have trouble remembering my phone number!

godfrog 2 #11 March 15, 2010 A old farmer sent his son to college, when the son returned home on break the old farmer asked his son what he had learned. The son replied, well I learned pi r squared. The old farmer turned red and demanded that his son stay home and work on the farm with him, the son asked why he couldn't go back to college, the farmer said, why any durn fool knows pi r round!Experience is a difficult teacher, she gives you the test first and the lesson afterward Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opendore 0 #16 June 28, 2011 > I guess there's competitions for memorizing it out to Lord knows how many places. There is a guy that can recite it over the 20,000th place. For real. I don't have a license for this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #17 June 29, 2011 Quote So are you celebrating Tau Day??? I had to Google that, never heard of it before. As a kid, I always wondered why we went 2piR for circumference instead of Diameter X pi, but that whole manufactured controversy of "pi is a lie" seems a bit much to me. The irrational relationship between diameter (or radius) to circumference is real, but the manmade terms are simply that, our own constructs. Either number is valid in my book. With that said, I'm always glad for a new holiday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
