Happy Pi day

Not enough significant digits.

Definitely Pi day, but only on a slide rule.

March 14 1592 must have been been quite the party day.

Pi Day in 2015 was somewhat special. I was judging a student math contest that morning with several other surveyors and we all stopped to count down to the second that represented Pi to 10 digits. This extracted from an article I found.

Pi Day is a holiday for math (and pie) enthusiasts to celebrate their love of numbers. And this year marks a once-in-a-century occurrence. At 9:26:53 a.m. the date and time will read 3.14.15 9:26:53. That‰Ûªs 10 digits of pi.

I believe it would have been closer to March 14, 1593, due to rounding.

Or it could have been one long party.

Again, rounding would mean 3.14.15 9:26:54

Well, if you want more sig figs, here are the first 100,000.

This page loads slow, but eventually lists the first 1,000,000 digits of pi.

Party rule #1, dont put off a good math party for a year, due to a mathematical rule.
or 6:54 O'clock could have been the big moment in 1592

If only there were 72 (rounded) days in February 🙂

The 17th most common 10-digit password is 3141592654

My password is the last eight digits of pi.

42?

To show my commitment to the festivities I am attaching an aerial photo of one of my ponds and, yes, north is up.

I worked with a guy that had to have cig break everyday right before a quarter after three.

Hmmm. Now I know.

I learned not to listen to Pi.

He goes on forever.

I always use pi day as a reminder that 4/20 is high day. :p
