Re: Happy Pi Day!
I like the constant 3 + (1/5) much better.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Re: Happy Pi Day!
Why is pi day wrong?
it isn't. however, my maths teacher's birthday is on pi day, so i must remove her bragging rights somehow. joking aside, i believe that we should us tau for angles and pi for areas.

Tau is the name given to a constant which is twice pi, I think.

Re: Happy Pi Day!
(I am amazed that list of useful symbols at the top of the page doesn't include pi!)
tau = 2 pi, the measure of a full circle. There are those who argue that tau would be a better choice than pi, but I haven't found that their arguments hold much water. For every calculation it simplifies, it makes another more complex.

exactly! hence my suggestion of a dual system, or at least using tau for angles.

Re: Happy Pi Day!
I tried to say "happy pi day" to my former crush via Facebook chat and she kept answering with uploading memes.
Me: "Happy π day..."
Her: ("one does not simply" meme) "One does not simply remember pi day"
Me: "I do 8| "
Her: (lame joke eel meme) "Why do people get excited about pi day? Who knows, it's completely irrational"
Me: "But... Golden Ratio is also irrational... 
"
Her: (Stoner Stanley meme) "If today was really 'pi' day, it would never end"
Me: "Toilet humor?"
Her: ("Meh" hand Facebook sticker)
Her: (peeking cat) "Don't mind me. please, do continue..."
Me: "Sorry, I am going to π..."
Her: (grumpy cat meme) "Yikes. I almost smiled."
Me: "That suits you well... -_- "
Her: (Vladimir Putin) "Thanks for Putin up with me"
Me: "........"
Her: (Jackie Chan rageface)
Me: "With this I show a white cloth as a sign of surrender"
Her: (troll rageface) "You mad, bro?"
Her: (bald man whose face looks like Tintin pointing at me) "Guess who can't keep up"
Me: "Sis Cal......!!!!!! >.< " (that's my adorable name for her)
Her: (math Wonka meme) "Problem is, I lose interest... very quickly"
Me: "Yeah yeah... I know that..."
Her: (someone with a hat and glasses shouting) "Am I right? Or am I right?"
Me: "OR"
Her: (grumpy cat meme) "Hahaha. No."
Me: "Grumpy cat represents you really well."
Her: (NO rageface) "NO"
Me: "Yes. Someone cute who is hard.to.smile."
Her: ("no bear" meme) "How about no"
Me: "And a bear suits you the most."
Her: (someone shouting) "Don't call me fat! I already know I'm fat!"
Me: "Not just that, but that bear is big, black, yet strong and cute... Just like you..."
Her: (Dwayne meme) "False"
Her: (Someone bald and black holding a mic and shows a palm) "No. I'm not good enough"
Me: "Which parts are false? I mentioned 4 factors there... 
"
Her: (grumpy cat meme) "I am not cute. Stop thinking I'm a feet teddy bear."
Her: ("I don't always" meme) "I don't always try to understand women. But when I do, it terrifies and confuses me"
Me: "Nah, you are a cute girl..."
Her: (a girl who seems giving up conversations) "Yeah, sure. If you say so."

Well, one of the reasons I find her attractive was because in my country it's rare to see a big and black woman who is cute.
