Ever wondered ...

..what pi would look like to a million places?

Me neither. Although I stumbled across this on my internet hike ( Surf is so cliche ).

Pi

Mmm , pie.

 

i dont know how ive lived this long without that. lol

 

WOW How some people think,to put that up on internet,makes me very alone and different on this planet of ours at times

 

there was a guy on tv who, in front of math experts, said 50,000 decimal places of pi without looking at anything, all in his head. Now that was creepy.

 

Maybe my memory isn't as good, but I was taught at school that Pi was 3.13 repeated?

 

haha 3.142 over here

 

Yes, it must be my memory.

I was taught that Pi is 22 over 7, which is 3.142.

 

Only need it for 30% of the exams when I took it as you could use a calculator for the rest,you could have used a calc though

Waste of time learning advanced maths for most people.


In my day, you weren't allowed to use calculators. Everything had to be worked out manually.

 

ok, so...i'm an idiot...but does pi ever stop? i mean...talk about overkill...

 

When I used a slide rule, it was 3.14.

When I used a calculator, it was 3.1415926.

Now I use a computer, and don't care.

Ever read Sagen's book (later turned into a movie) "First Contact". Love the concept that if you take the number out far enough you'll find messages encoded by God. In other words, become so advanced you really need proof (or comeupance), and there it is!
