[Much Ado]

Sir, I send a rhyme excelling
In sacred truth and rigid spelling
Numerical sprites elucidate
For me the lexicon's full weight.

Happy π Day

Remember πr^2 not πr^0

wow, nerd alert.

 

[wordmunger]

At my kids school, they have an annual pi-memorization contest. My daughter's best friend (a ninth grader) broke the school record, with over 600 digits.

My daughter, ever-practical, learned enough digits to get extra credit in math class: 20.

I appreciate thy rhyme;
'twere not a waste of time.
My mathematical mind suggests
knowledge is what it ingests.

enjoy 3.14.

πr^2 not πr^0

certainly, even though 'tis round, we proclaim it as "pie are squared".

Pi(e) is not in not a part of the equation in my diet.

Okay, you may shoot me now.

 

[TEG]

Some people talk about eating pie today, especially square pies. Where does one find a square pie?

Also, if anyone want to be very geeky, go to Little Ceasar's Pizza and get one of their Square Pizza (Pie).

[princealfie]

apparently too bad no ladies desire to discuss their 3.14's.

I'm hungry now.
Anyway this featured on the local pizza promotions.

Where's Q? when you need him .. .


For double checking the numbers in this nerdy thread ..

Still some way to go to beat this dude

I have faith in chaos! So say we all!

 

[Melrose]

On a sheet of paper with a pencil, how does one find Pi?

If you have a perfect circle, it's the diameter divided by three... right? But on paper how is it done?

 

[Abstract]

This is usually the type of thing that Q will make a thread for, so I'm a bit surprised he didn't start it this time.

 

[Prof.]

We will be having some pie after dinner tonight!

French Silk Pie

That's lovely ... but the original rhyme is a way of remembering Pi, rather than 1-10-3...

Melrose-
(Pi)D= C
So it's C/D.

I missed it in 1593, so I guess 2015 might be a little bit closer to the real thing.
