Happy PI Day.

I plan to spend the day figuring the surface area of all my sanding disks and saw blades.

22/7 IN 13 MORE YEARS. ;) 14 IF YER ROUNDING.

A 'problem' with teaching by using 22/7 in grade school, is it sticks but the actual value is different although it is accurate to 3 digits. Then when squared for area calculation . . . . . . .

PI day indeed. :rolleyes: :D

"But it’s not just any Pi Day. This year is the first time in a century that the date is 3/14/15, which describes the first five digits of pi, 3.1415. Mass elation will peak at 9.26:53am when the date and time will describe pi to 10 digits."

So why knot also at 9:26:53 pm?
