Happy Pi Day 2006! :D

Post by Rockford4ever »

I'm a bit late, since it was yesterday but anyway: 14 March was the National Pi Day, because it's written like 3/14.
Anyone knew about this before? :D
Specially for Pi Day: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459230781640628620899862803482534211706... :wink:
Take a look at http://oldweb.cecm.sfu.ca/projects/ISC/ ... i10000.txt - having so much spare time is just sick :P

Hey, the PI number is actually *that* long? :shock:

What if we had to fix it in memory, and to repeat it in front of the blackboard during an interrogation! :P
Anyway, by the way, have fun!

You only get to learn 15 of them (I did'nt yet so I don't know, a friend of mine knows 20), but the real pi number is infinite - tough they did found it until 400 billion numbers after the comma allready! :shock:

I think that "3.14" will be enough for my math's needs - further, my memory agrees ;)

Don't ask me why, but I can remember 40 without problems :)

Really? I admire your memory!

I usually have to ask people to repeat me their names - not only at the first meeting, even people that I meet once in a month or so - and if I see someone very rarely (once in a year) there is also the risk that I forget their face :(

But it doesn't happen with all people, and for other things I've got a really sharp memory... seems like a selective memory that applies a filter to the incoming data... I think I need a revision by a very skilled hardware technician, maybe also an upgrade :?
Anyway, by the way, have fun!

Speaking of PI... there's actually a swedish domain (the longest swedish domain name) with a bunch of pi decimals...
http://www.1415926535897932384626433832 ... 494459.se/
Don't ask me why they chose that domain... the content doesn't seem to be related to pi at all.. :?

If this would mean having also the same skills, I double-sign for ;)

@Zomis: hey, just seen your new avatar, nice beard!
Mine is so sparse that going from an hair to another takes half an hour of bicycle :?
It's not a joke :!:
Something like "const == (PI * hair) / POW(inch, 2)" ;)
Anyway, by the way, have fun!

ehehe, yes, he did!

Zomis Zomis... never "try-out" when quick-eyes are around - by the way, I could easily forget of it, you know, my poor memory ;)

Nope, I haven't changed it back... I suggest you press F5 to reload the page, I do have a beard ;)
I updated the picture on my server, and the artsoft server links to that, so an updating of the cache could be useful for you :)

Reading... :D ... ? ... F5 :? ... :!: ........... D'oh :!:

I got tricked :evil: ;)

By the way, I was logging on to post this idea:

The link above could be written something like this

"http://www." + mid(PIstring, 2, 62) + ".se"

I don't know if this could be useful though... :?
Anyway, by the way, have fun!

I just got a mail from the owner of the site I was trying to refer to, seems like most medieas got it wrong...
For some reason, http://3.141592653589793238462643383279 ... 494459.se/ should be the correct adress... but now it seems like those URLs are pointing to the same site... but last time I checked the content didn't match at all what it is now...

Yes, you're right Zomis, even when I checked it, it was different than now. It was a sort of personal homepage, with no mention about the PI number...
Anyway, by the way, have fun!
