3/14 – also known as Pi day for geeks and fun lovers everywhere!
Here are some fun facts about Pi so you can impress your friends with your knowledge:
- In the first 100,000 digits of Pi, the number that occurs most frequently is 1.
- The Babylonians were the first to find a value for Pi.
- The longest memorized series of Pi numbers went to 42,195 (Not sure how this person got this far without a single mistake, but would anyone notice?)
- In other parts of the world, July 22 — 22/7 — is another popular choice for Pi Day. So you can celebrate twice if you want!
- Memorizing large strings of the digits of pi through the use of various mnemonic techniques is called piphilology.
John and I celebrated Pi Day with a bit of pie! The coffee shop was celebrating as well and offered a free cup of coffee with the purchase of a slice of pie. Who could resist that offer?
Have a great weekend!
I haven’t had pie in AGES. Like years. I love pie.
So I tried to leave you a comment on your countertop post but got a weird error message. Anyway, it looks really great. I was also wondering how you decided how far up to do the backsplash?
This morning on the way to school Hunter asked me what we were doing for Pi day – oops!!!
So, we had pizza tonight – pushing it but still some people say pizza pie!
Happy Pi day to you too!! lol…Yesterday my co-worker sent me an email reminding me and suggesting we get Pie for lunch hehe…we all have to celebrate somehow. 🙂 enjoy the weekend!
I need pie! 🙂
Happy Belated Pi day Lori!!! HOW did I miss that? Happy PI day to PIxie too! 🙂 Have a great week!
It’s funny, I’ve seen Pi day all over Facebook on Friday. The only thing I could think about is that a lot of people grab this math day and turn it into food day 🙂
That said, I think I am going to celebrate Pi day from now on on both days: means pie twice! Yours looks good!
