Yes, today is Pi Day.

Some facts about Pi and Pi Day:

• The U.S. Congress recognized March 14, 2009 as "National Pi Day".
• The first Pi Day celebration was held at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988, with staff and public marching around one of its circular spaces, and then consuming fruit pies; the museum has since added pizza pies to its Pi Day menu.
• The Massachusetts Institute of Technology often mails out its acceptance letters to be delivered to prospective students on Pi Day.
• A value truncated to 11 decimal places is accurate enough to calculate the circumference of a circle the size of the earth with a precision of a millimeter, and one truncated to 39 decimal places is sufficient to compute the circumference of any circle that fits in the observable universe to a precision comparable to the size of a hydrogen atom.


I've had a rip of a movie sitting around on one of my hard drives for a while and I think I shall watch it tonight (please, no spoilers). It's Darren Aronofsky's Pi.

 

[bruinsrme]

rather interesting.

 

[mathcolo]

Happy Pi Day! I know 50 digits of pi in my head...Can anyone beat THAT?

 

[robanga]

Cream pie ( hehe)

 

[fireshot91]

We had a competition yesterday during lunch about who can recite the most Pi digits in their head.

Tis a great film.

Steak and Kidney.

Although I must say I make a mean Chicken and Leek pie which is probably my favourite over all.

Something About Mary ∏.

But really, a nice steak & kidney pie, with savagely bad-for-you pastry.

No meat and potato?

Tie... we memorized it when we were kids (50 digits being as far as pie is listed in the subject of this thread).

My fave pies are pecan pie and various chocolate pies. If one made the argument that quiche is a pie, I quite like the more vegetarian quiches also.

Happy Pi day!

 

[heehee]

I like "Apple pie".

Yeah, same... I tried to go to 75 once but I gave up after being bored reading numbers.

That film has a great score. The film is pretty good too. Enjoy.

Haha, good point. I'll be careful if I feel the need to show my geek-like qualities.

 

[zelmo]

Bacon and Egg Pie sounds intriguing...

 

[teleromeo]

woohoow ...
the most exciting day of the year.

Oh, and it's not US-national. Over here in Belgium it was mentioned several times in the media, I guesss in other countries too.

 

[sushi]

My favorite --> 355/133

A close second --> 22/7

Then again, Apple pie ala mode is pretty good.

 

[alexlovesmacs]

I like "Apple pie".

No wonder "Apple pie" got the most votes.

 

[Jelite]
