Thread: How did you spend Pi day?

Supposed to be losing weight and lowering my cholesterol. Now I'm wanting some apple pie,
or pecan, or lemon meringue, or all of them at once...

He was not.

After a brief time it was clear that he was feeling very threatened by me. He finally asked me a couple of questions that had nothing to do with the topic of the meeting but he was very upset when I answered them. Finally, he asked me to how many decimals did I know Pi? I responded with 3.14159.

He literally jumped out of his seat and yelled "two seven!"

I told him that I never felt the need for Pi past 5 decimals, but it did not matter to him. He sat smugly for the rest of the meeting confident of his victory. I think of him every time I think of Pi and never regretted not telling him that I had memorized it to 100 decimals.

I think I work with his son!!!
