Nerds at work.

ooooh…. scary

Maybe should you invest in a much bigger wall first, boys, shouldn’t you?

If you get enough pumpkins, you will be able to fit four and twenty blackbirds in them.

March 14 marks Pi Day, and it also happens to be Albert Einstein’s birthday. Don’t confuse it with the overcommercialized halloween.

One of my math teachers had this one pinned to the wall of his classroom.

Apple Pi would be cheaper.

Clever!

A little something I wrote some time ago….

The Teacher uses π to 2 decimal places, as π ≈ 3.14 is all that most students are likely to remember.

The Engineer uses π to 4 decimal places, as π ≈ 3.1416 is good enough for most practical purposes.

The Physicist uses π to 7 decimal places, as π ≈ 3.1415926 is useful in some quantum calculations.

The Computer Scientist can write a program which will calculate π to a thousand places in a few seconds.

The Mathematician prefers just plain π , because “it’s exact”!

I want to do the same thing with… 867-5309.

I did this a couple of years ago… and no one got it

Looks like Freddy Krueger has been carving pumpkins…

i thought i’d help…here’s the first 1000 pumpkins……….: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510 58209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679 82148086513282306647093844609550582231725359408128 48111745028410270193852110555964462294895493038196 44288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091 45648566923460348610454326648213393607260249141273 72458700660631558817488152092096282925409171536436 78925903600113305305488204665213841469519415116094 33057270365759591953092186117381932611793105118548 07446237996274956735188575272489122793818301194912 98336733624406566430860213949463952247371907021798 60943702770539217176293176752384674818467669405132 00056812714526356082778577134275778960917363717872 14684409012249534301465495853710507922796892589235 42019956112129021960864034418159813629774771309960 51870721134999999837297804995105973173281609631859 50244594553469083026425223082533446850352619311881 71010003137838752886587533208381420617177669147303 59825349042875546873115956286388235378759375195778 18577805321712268066130019278766111959092164201989…

How about an ∞ pumpkin?

I can get pi exactly in four pumpkins. C / 2 r. Simple.

Clever boys. Weird but clever.

“until we buy more”? It’s always needed at the end no matter how many you buy..

Pretty funny,

Clever font used for the digits, especially for the 9 (and, presumably, for the 0, 6, and 8).
