Thanks to the ancients who gave us 3.14 as the value of Pi, we can today know the area of our disc shaped coins by application of the formula, Pi-radius--squared.

    OK, to add to the Pi Day theme. This circular shaped "Pie in the Sky" appeared over the nearby mountains. Anyone for Green Cheese Pie?

  • You are thinking of March 14. Pi day is March 14 since the number for Pi is 3.14. This offers a great opportunity for businesses to give some great deals, especially in the foodservice industry! I found some helpful info on Pi Day here!

    It's a somewhat irrational day... :)

    For those who are math challenged, an irrational number is any number that can't be expressed as the ratio of two integers. The actual number for PI is infinitely long.

    I prefer pizza pie....I understand them as large, small and bar pie.... I have not computed their area, since I depend on my appetite to guide me in ordering. :D;) Cheers, RickO

    And now a day later we have 3-15 "beware the ides of march day"

    Looks like that calls for a separate thread for posting of Julius Ceaser coins.
