Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

I can definitely also see the pyramid association, if we continue with the baseball reference. Pi is in reference to a circle, and a base is a diamond like shape.

That six sided object, as always, seems to be coming back to mind.

Also, what about Dave Lavery and his liking, along with Dean, of e^i*pi? Isn't e somewhere between 1 and 3?

Also, there is a quote from Cliff Pickover, "Somewhere inside the digits of pi is a representation for all of us -- the atomic coordinates of all our atoms, our genetic code, all our thoughts, all our memories. Given this fact, all of us are alive, and hopefully happy, in pi. Pi makes us live forever. We all lead virtual lives in pi. We are immortal." In the documented discussion of that quote, Cliff says one of his friends from IBM said, "If the binary representation of pi is interpreted as a program in some computer language, perhaps it encodes a simulation of the universe that includes itself, you and me... or maybe it is a movie of your live encoded in some yet-to-be-discovered version of MPEG..."
