wolfriverjoe 1,340 #1 Posted March 15, 2019 3-14. Calendar equivalent of an approximation of Pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to it's diameter. Not as fun as 4 years ago, when it was a lot closer. 3-14-15, and at 9:27 (either AM or PM) was the most accurate it can be. However, this year had a bit of a bonus. https://www.npr.org/2019/03/14/703566696/the-woman-who-calculated-31-trillion-digits-of-pi Pi has now been calculated further than ever before. To 31,415,926,535,897 digits. Which is Pi to 13 digits past the decimal. Not too surprisingly, it was done by a Google employee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
headoverheels 291 #2 March 15, 2019 A friend (and his friends) memorized pi to 1000 digits. He said it wasn't too hard -- just 200 groups of 5 digits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,340 #5 March 15, 2019 As was noted in the NPR article I linked, NASA used Pi to the 15th digit to get to the moon. "Close enough" depends on how far you want to go (and still get there). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
