Voidus Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Happy Pi day everyone, while it's celebrated on March the 14th every year this is year is the once in a century pi day, since the date is 3-14-15 at 9:26 the date will represent Pi to the 7th decimal.So I thought I'd take this opportunity to ask if anyone else is a dedicated memorizer of pi (Or a Piphilologist)? 9
ccstat he/him Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Happy Pi Day to you! To celebrate I am making apple pie cookies to take to a friend's pie party. I will probably also make some with nutella filling. This seems like a genius, low-effort take on the whole bite-size-pie idea. I can't wait! I am not a pi aficionado. I liked to think I was (got out to 75 digits at one point ). But then in middle school, when I met a real one. I realized that I didn't care about pi nearly that much, and it wasn't important enough to me to pursue. (And in middle school age it was mostly about showing off, not about interest in the number theory, so I won't pretend getting shown up wasn't part of that.) A few decades later, I still don't care much, but reciting it enough times apparently made some of it stick. I can get out to the first 0 (just checked, that's 32 digits).
WeiryWriter he/him Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Down with pi! ALL HAIL TAU! (but anyway I know pi only out to the ninth decimal place, so ten digits...) 3
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I'm no memorizer of pi, but I do like Pi Day. In honor, I have brought a chicken pot pie for lunch and will hopefully have the opportunity to buy or make some sort of fruit pie later. I guess I'm just here for the pie. 2
Kobold King he/him Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I too am Pi-ically impaired. After 3.14159265 I'm completely stumped, and I only know those digits because of the catchy chant my brother came up with when he was trying to memorize it. But in the spirit of things, here's a Pi pie. 3
Gamma Fiend he/him Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Down with pi! ALL HAIL TAU! (but anyway I know pi only out to the ninth decimal place, so ten digits...) Heh, I just watched a video from the person explaining Tau from a few years ago! Nice to see they're still at it! I only know Pi to 3.14159 off top of my head, and I generally hate doing math anyways. I appreciate math, and all it's fancy awesomeness, but just generally will leave it to those who enjoy it!
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I don't think this picture has ever been more relevant. Yes. Those are three pies baked into a three-layer cake. 1
18th Shard he/him Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 As my math teacher said, I know all the digits of pi. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. 9
Voidus Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 I fluctuate between the high hundreds and a thousand depending on how much I practice but I've been memorizing since I was 10 1
Mailliw73 he/him Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I know 3.14159265 because of Night at the Museum 2, where Einstein bobble heads recite it over and over to Ben Stiller. After that movie,move always had it memorized. 2
Surgebound Rainspren he/him Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Yes happy pi day to you all, this pi day was the day where i confirmed to the entire universe that I am in fact one of the largest nerds to reside inside of it. Me and some of my friends had a party, in said party we ate pie covered in the symbol pi at exactly 9:26.53. In short we at pi on 3.14159653 down to the second. 1
Curiosity he/him Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Yes, but base 10 is a little overrated. And no, I'm not saying that because I heard Vi Hart say it. But a happy day to celebrate math and eat pie together! Edited March 16, 2015 by Curiosity 1
Eilemelie Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Belated happy pi day! I've been known to memorize pi, but currently all I can remember are the 15 first digits, and even when I knew more my high school advanced maths teacher had me beat... oh well, I guess I'll have to go look at Inky's t-shirt again... Pi-day was celebrated with our local Tolkien society (who happened to have chosen the day as a celebratory one for the Middle Earth new year) and the pies were abundant. There wasapple pie, strawberry pie and key lime pie, the latter of which was decorated in a manner befitting of the date.
