Oh my god, Pi Day
Can´t wait for "e Day"

First (personal) comment of the day: ...Wow.

Second comment: Considering e is about 2.81828 (something liket that)...there is no 81st day in a month. Even if there were an e day, it probably would have been missed :)

NO, but you could do 2/8/18 at 00:28 GMT or something like that....

First, e is approximately 2.718281828459045. :) Second, I've already thought about possibilities for e-day and posted my thoughts on my website. In case you don't want to look :) my suggestions were: February 7 or July 2, depending on how you like to notate dates (ie., 2/7 as M/D or D/M). If you add a few more digits and let them represent a time, you could make the time 18:28 = 6:28 PM on the chosen day or perhaps use January 27 at 8:28 (27/1, 8:28) instead. On the topic of extra digits as a time, Pi Day becomes March 14 at 1:59.
I think it's commonly taken as PM just because most people wouldn't want to celebrate Pi Day at 2 in the morning. ;) Don't forget about Pi Approximation Day -- 22/7 is the commonly used fraction approximation of pi, so that day is celebrated on July 22. And of course every day has a Pi Time -- 3:14! :) Happy Pi Day all!

Well, If there WAS actually an e day, it would be in my opinion, April 13(This year it would have been April 12 because of leap day). This is because e is somewhat equal to 2.72, and there only 28 days(usually)
in Feburary and then it would be March the 44th and there are 31 days in March, so it would be April the 13th, and yes, i agree it dosen't make any sense. But if anyone has a better way to figure out the "e" day, i would like to hear it.(Besides saying there is no E day because i know that)

What about a e day on 27.09? (day nr. 271 in the year)
I think I liked my idea. :)

What are we going to do for Thursday? It will be sqrt(10) Day!
And what about the 31st and April 12th and 24th and May 9th and 19th and 29th and June 8th and 16th and 24th and July 7th and 14th and 21st and August 6th and 12th and 18th and 24th and 30th and September 5th and 11th and 16th and 21st and 27th and October 4th and 9th and 14th and 19th and 24th and 29th and November 4th and 9th and 13th and 18th and 22nd and 26th and December 4th and 8th and 12th and 16th and 20th and 24th and 28th and February 23rd?

Actually I'd rather see "i day"

And I'm waiting for my "i"'th birthday. It's on the "i"'th day of Apr"i"l. (and I wonder why people look at me funny?)

Actually, you'd have to "imagine" the day ever took place.


Okay, that was not funny either.

Good idea. Let's celebrate it on February 30.

How about "psi time" on June 18 at 3:39 PM?

(1/psi = psi-1 = .6180339...)

<lame>
You programmed that on your Apple? I guess you could call it "apple pi" :)
</lame>
happy pi day everyone!

Someone shoot this guy.

done

rimshot!

Hey, you know, that was really intellectually stimulating. I just made Pythag. its an animation for the TI-83 + BASIC, really neat. and then to refesh my noodle with pi, and e...you guys are awesome. probably no one will read this, because its at the bottom. I usually stop it before its done laoding to. thanks for the article...

According to the Old Testament of the bible, pi=3. :-)

Not that I believe any of the bible stuff, but that story is due to people misinterpreting the text. It talks about a round wheel with a think border, then gives the INNER diameter followed by the OUTER circumference.

And the story about some state nearly making pi=3 is false, although another state DID nearly make pi=3.2 in the 1980s due to some people not realizing that the proposed bill was a joke. It's in the book Pi =)

From the 1995 guinness book of records, page 179:
"Most inaccurate version of pi: In 1897 the general Assembly of Indiana enacted Bill No. 246, station that pi was de jure 4"

Yes, 1 Kings 7:23 does appear to say that pi=3. However, it is interesting to note that, in the Hebrew text, the word for "circumference" is spelled with an extra letter.

The Jews used each of the letters of their alphabet to represent numbers. The numerical value of the normal Hebrew spelling for "circumference" is 106 and that of the unusual spelling in 1 Kings 7:23 is 111.

This "misspelling" gives us a very good approximation for pi: 3 x 111 / 106 = 3.14150943..., an error of less than .0003 percent!

Of course, I didn't figure this out on my own. Some Israeli scientists and rabbis did. I'ts mentioned in Grant Jeffrey's book The Handwriting of God.
