Happy PIE day

[samandothers]

3.14 15 926 53
Yep Today is pi day the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.  Today at 9:26 am pm and 53 seconds it is good to 10 digits

[clww]

Just saw a story on this on FOX News Channel.

[Magicman]

Interesting.  I had to crank up Google again.   

[Left Coast Chris]

Darn....... I was thinking strawberry rhubarb....

[Ford_man]

Glad you reminded me, went to the kitchen and there it was a BLUEBERRY PIE.

PI r squared?
Pie aren't square, pie are round. Cornbread are square.  :D

[Hilltop366]

Oddly enough I went to the bakery today (I almost never go to the bakery) and bought some bread, while waiting my turn to pay I decided to get a blueberry pie. Now I know why. ;D

PI r squared?
Pie aren't square, pie are round. Cornbread are square.  :D

We cook our cornbread (usually called Johnny cake here) in a cast-iron frying pan, its round.

My mother told me happy pie day today I thought she made me a pie...nope...well she's a math teacher and I guess it excited her somehow...

[thecfarm]

PIE?? There is only one pie that I am interested in. PIE,give me the biggest piece.

[Darrel]

Had blueberry pie and lemon pie. Yum yum!

[woodmills1]

now that pi day is almost gone see if you can figure out when e day and golden ratio day will happen

Feb 7 '18   ??

Jan 6 '18   ??

I dont know much about math but I can assure you I have never met a pie I did not like.Mince meat was a bit of a disapointment but mom says I ate it anyway.

[samandothers]

Mine was Pecan heated with vanilla ice cream.... oh baby it was gooooood. 

Now I am thinking a round skillet of corn bread!  I should have started this in the food section.

[petefrom bearswamp]

Never met a pie I didnt like.
pi day another interesting but utterly useless fact.

[woodmills1]

right on been there!    And swampy pete, nothing useless about mathematical constants; and you should be thankful some one understands them unless of course you have nothing but hand tools you fashioned yourself. :D :D

[petefrom bearswamp]

I do understand that 3.14159etcetc is a useful mathematical constant, but how does producing a date and time help with any calculations?
I'll stick with apple cherry pumpkin etc.

[woodmills1]

some people like duck huntin

some people like wood turnin

some duck huntin wood turners like numbers specially irrational ones.

[samandothers]

 :D :D :D

Just finished the last of the pecan pie with ice cream!   I like pie.  Pi helps me figure diameter too!

[Dave Shepard]

Last summer one of my blacksmith friends rattled off pi to the 40th place. He said 40 places was all he needed to know for most calculations. He is in his mid-90's and helped design the hydrostatic steering on Bradley fighting vehicles.

[samandothers]

WOW 40 digits!!!   Rate I am going at 90 I may just be sitting around trying to remember my name. If I am still on this earth.

I might have gotten to 4 after decimal but I was done after that.  This year might help me remember another 4, but really don't even need the four.   
If I can remember to divide circumference by 3 or 3.14 I feel pretty good about the diameter I come up with.

[4x4American]

Did you check him for accuracy  ;D

[Dave Shepard]

Not necessary. At that point, I'm sure it is so etched in his memory he would be incapable of error. :D
