How did you spend Pi day?
In mathematical pursuits I hope.

Pi day is also my birthday which I share with Albert Einstein. Bottom line - I didn’t do much and took my wife out for dinner. Good day.

Stephen W. Hawking died today. He was born 300 years later on the same day that Galilieo was born--
Hawking died on the same day that Einstein was born.
At least that's what I've read

Yes it is amazing how long he lived since he was only supposed to live a couple of years longer after his diagnosis.Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdins cave of 'stuff'.

About 30 years ago I was in a meeting with about a dozen people. One guy quickly made it clear that he was desperate to be the smartest guy in the room.
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.
