MM-DD-YY will make you cry
"In the year 3141..."
Agreed 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Yeah count me in, 14.3 doesn't make any sense for a πday
Well, you could do the 31st of April, but it seems the universe disagrees with your date format.
Some very confused Americans trying to remember the names of the 13th - 22nd months.
How about March Fourteenth as "American PI-Day" and 22.07. as "international, sensible and widely understood PI-Day", each according to the used date format?
A third excuse for pi, you say? I think it suits it.
But Pi Day doesn't end with the day. There can be Pi Hour, Pi Minute, Pi Second, Pi Milisec...
This was waaay too low
Fun fact: 355/113 = 3.14159...
Close enough to pi so that using it for calculating the earth's circumference from its diameter is accurate to within 3 meters.
... or to within π meters?
I chuckled
The engineer in me wants to tell you round it up to 3.5 just to be safe. Maybe even 4 might be better...........
Is this some worldly date format that I'm too American to understand?
A man with an assault rifle at an island killing 77 people, many bellow 18, kinda ruined pi-approximation day in Norway.
Where's the love for tau day
I was looking for you. Or someone like you. Or someone other than you.
I need a Tau advocate and you got the job.
I have a Daughter who was born on Pi day. When she was little. she would tell you it's the second most important day, right after Christmas. Pi Day actually became a school wide fun day because of her, (small rural schools can be fun that way). We would bring a couple of pies for her math class to celebrate. Oddly, she much prefers a strawberry cheese cake for her birthday over pies.
I suspect she will NOT allow the change...........
Why have one pi day when you could have 2?
We should have approximately 3 pi days
You're forgetting tau day, June 28th. That's 2*pi. Then we get 3 holidays.
That's nice and helps remember it's 22/7. Americans can have their 14th of March, and let 22/7 be the international pi day.
