Happy Pi Day

[nu2u]

My favorite mathematical holiday

• The symbol for Pi has been in use for over 250 years. The symbol was introduced by William Jones, a Welsh mathematician, in 1706.
• Since the exact value of pi can never be calculated, we can never find the accurate area or circumference of a circle.
• The record for reciting the most number of decimal places of Pi was achieved by Rajveer Meena at VIT University, Vellore, India on 21 March 2015 - 70,000 digits in 9 hours 27 minutes.

I will be celebrating with the greatest pi ever created ...... blueberry!

Weird that Meena set the record 1 week after the most "accurate" Pi Day any of us will ever see in our lifetime, 3/14/15, starting at 9:26:53, it would have made a lot more sense. What a MORON!

22/7 just doesn't cut it.

More like a savant! Reciting the following numbers in order represents a fraction of 01% of the total sequence of numbers he correctly strung together for 9 and a half hours that day. He got the Guinness.

Pi has been calculated to over 31.4 trillion decimal places (and counting)
