Happy Ultimate Pi Day!

  1. Thanks drmadfate.
  2. Any thing for a friend
  3. I have to agree with you here; Pi Day would be 3/14/16 because it's Pi Day we're talking about, so we would round up in this case. You can't just say that because the 5th digit is a '5' when written with more significant digits, that it should always be a '5'. If we're talking about the day, and writing it as m/dd/yy, then we would only be looking at 5 significant digits, in which case the number would be written as 3.1416.

    Today at 9:00 will be Pi Hour, 9:27 will be Pi Minute, 9:26:54 will be Pi Second, and then you can go into fractions of seconds, etc., somewhere between 9:26:53 and 9:26:54. Pi Day, though, will be a year from today, or 3/14/1593 (which we've obviously missed), depending on how you format your dates.

  7. This is relevant. It may not be that useful, but still cool that it works at all.

  8. Pi is good. Thanks for another promo!
  9. I also mailed you a slice of pie ^-^
  10. Yikes. Coming from my skiing trip by car, going to be close! Really want this surprised promo :)

    Thanks krysyy for planning!
  11. can someone get one for me :3
  12. This is not the ultimate pi day, nor will next year's be due to rounding. It would have to be the year 15926. Which will be a while from now... "Happy Ultimate Pi Day Which We Can Expect in Our Lifetimes" would be more suiting, I guess. Regardless, free pie. Who am I to complain?
  13. Happy EST/EMC time Pi Minute, everyone! :D

  14. Code:
    
    
    import math
    
    
    
    
    def add(val):
        val += 2
        
        return val
    
        
    def decimal(val):
        
        return int(val)
    
    
    
    def piprgm():
    
    
    
        # says how much "x starts off as"
        x = 1.0
            
     
        # says how to start the process
        uf = 4 / x
        print 'sucess! Just wait...'
        i = 0
        while i <= 10000000:
            i += 1
            x=add(x)
            unfin = uf - 4 / x
            x=add(x)
            fin = unfin + 4 / x
        
            if float(i) / 250000.0 == decimal(float(i) / 250000.0): 
                print "============================================="
                print 'Number of iterations: ' + str(i)
                print 'Current Value: ' + str(fin)
                print 'Distance away from pi: ' + str(fin - math.pi)
                print "============================================="
    
        
            #print '==='
            #print fin
        
            #print int(fin)
        
            uf = fin
        
        
        print "============================================="
        print fin
        
        
        
    piprgm()

    There is a program in Python I just wrote if you want to do your own (super inefficient) pi calculating. ;)
    Sorry for the sloppy code :p
  15. Pretty sure there will be some for sale when you get back. :)
  16. Granted, people will probably sell them for like 31,492r to be like "Hey! It's on sale for 10000 times pi! Come buy it!"
  17. Where is the 15? :eek:

  18. We can arrange that, but you have to persuade staff to let cents into the economy.

    Best of luck with that :)
  19. Ya Pi!!!!! 3.14!!! It's funny up until my sophomore year i didn't get what they ment by multiply Pi. I'm like what??? I can't wait to check my mail when I get back.
  20. Exactly.
    I actually have a pi contest @ my school.
    I know 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459 by memory :p
