Re: My math teacher.

All I have to say is:

3.14159265358979

It was a password used by a former employer to access special menus in a software program. It's amazing that after being gone for 6 years I still remember it.

I needed to use the urban dictionary to find out what I<3 and ftw meant. I'm getting old.

Re: My math teacher.

I'm not too far out of college and my team had to bring me up to speed on some DragonBall-Z "over 9000" quote....


Anyway, to solve your weekend Pi-day problem, you could hold it on Wednesday March 4th. The 3 is still the month, but the .14 turns into the percentage of the month. Since march has 31 days, 31*0.14 gives you the 4th.

good luck!

Re: My math teacher.

I guess celebrating pi day is clearly only a US tradition, since there is no 14th month for the Euro date code standard of DD/MM/YYYY.
HA!! USA FTW!

Re: My math teacher.

My pre-calc teacher celebrates Pi Day on 3/14 every year, but since the 14 was a Saturday, we celebrated it on the 13. One person brought pie in and others brought in cookies. somebody even brought in lots of cupcakes and decorated them in such a way that when they were put on the tray, they made the Pi symbol (chocolate iced were pi symbol, vanilla iced were around it to show it clearly)

So you had pi day on Friday the 13th. Kinda creepy. But I guess Friday the 13th was the day our team competed undefeated.
