Aghhh, I never remember until I see this ticalc.org article. Then I tell myself I'll remember next year...

I'm having trouble trying not to forget Pi Day 2015.

That's not interesting anyway. Pi Day 1592, on the other hand... too bad for you you missed it. ;-)

oh right ... because you were there, eh, old man!?

I thought of it during the announcement for one class at the start of school. Then I kept checking for the news article. It seemed late getting out.

then again, I'm eastern time (-5:00? -4:00? ...) so it could be when I was checking it...at like 10am here so...maybe not...anyhow...

Me too. For me the news article appeared on the 15th, but I reside in my living space, which is -6:00 of the GMT.

It was 7:52 AM on Pi Day for me when I posted it.

pi day... my favorite day of the year. i wait for this day all year long. now for the pi day survey question: how many different ways can you use pi?

nice song. I showed it to the people in class and we had a sing a long in class.

Random thought of the day: it seems to me that the posts on this site would indicate a much higher percentage of nerds and geeks in the world than is actually the case. :D

Lest we forget:
Pi = 4.

Always these religious nutcases... All us scientists know that Pi=3. ;-D

<sarcasm>
Pi is 3, and I have PROOF!

("->" means right arrow, \PI\ means Pi character)
:0->P
:For(X,1,\PI\)
:P+1->P
:End
:Disp "Pi is:"
:Disp P

</sarcasm>

:-)

Michael's right:
Pi is 4.

:0->P
:While P<\PI\
:P+1->P
:End
:Disp "Pi is:"
:Disp P

;-)

different loops, different answers...

cuz remember, the while loop runs at 3, which is less then ð, and adds to the integer, causing 4... the REAL solution is to:
:int(ð) -> A
:Disp A

And thats ur answer :D

Michael: can we get this post deleted for blasphemy?

:-)

He has directly insulted one of the core principles of the Cult of Math!!! He must be burned at the stake!

Don't any of you remember what we learned from Prof. Frink?

Audience: blah blah blah...
Speaker: Uh... may I have your attention please
Audience: blah blah blah...
Speaker: Please, pay attention!
Audience: blah blah blah...
Speaker: Pi is exactly 3!
Audience: *GASP*
Speaker: I'm sorry it had to come to that, but I needed to get your attention.

Never heard of it before - where's that from?

Vaguely familar, though I can't place it...

Ah ha! The Simpsons.

See the "Less accurate predictions" section. Some people are just dumb.

It's painful just to look at those, especially the last one.
