Nathaninch Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I would like to introduce all of you to the glory that is the PI(E) FEST. A simple day, meant to celebrate what we all know as 3.14. The neverending decimal. On March 14th (3.14....get it?) nerds from all over the world celebrate Pi. Why? I have no clue. All I know is that where there is a party, there is the TET BABY!!! What was once a tame, relaxed celebration... will soon be turned UPSIDE DOWN. So here's the plan. Pi is good. But you know what else is good? PIE. So the TET hatched a brilliant plan to combine the two... simply by adding an (E) to PI. That's right. We have created PI(E)!!! This unlikey duo has given birth to one of the most exciting events in TET history... ... The PI(E) FEST!! There will be trivia, games and.... ...PIE BOMBING! It's like cabbage bombing... but yummier! What?: A celebration of all things Pi(e). Who?: Everyone who enjoys the wonder of Pi and/or Pie. Where?: The Varrock Castle, world 7. When?: Saturday, March 11th. 6pm GMT 7pm in CET 3am in ACST(next day) 4am in AEST(next day) 10am in PST 11am in MST 12pm in CST 1pm in EST Sorry Aussies. :P Why?:Because Pi and Pie have been kept apart for far too long! Let us celebrate their union! So bring your pies, as many as you can gather and come celebrate ALL that is Pi(e)!! Three Point One Four Cherry Pie Oldschool RSC Pie Pizza Pie Empty Pie :( Seeya there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's not get into another Pi posting contest here (there was one in the march calendar topic :lol: ). Sounds good, TET! I love pie 8) (and pi, of course)...... OoC Overseer Eet mor kabbig!

Hobgoblin11 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 What is so great about a never-ending decimal? Take a random number (that is not a square number) and square root it....

Hobgoblin11 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 What is so great about a never-ending decimal? Pi is used in various equations, the most common probably being finding the area of a circle: r2 (Pi times "r" squared) Really? I hadn't noticed! Pi only occurs in hundreds of equations in many sciences including those describing the DNA double helix, a rainbow, ripples spreading from where a raindrop fell into water, general relativity, normal distribution, distribution of primes, geometry problems, waves, navigation....I must have missed it somewhere along the way studying Maths and Physics at A-Level :wink: 70 facts, take your time! 1) Pi is the number of times a circle's diameter will fit around its circumference. 2) Most people would say that a circle has no corners, but it is more accurate to say that it has an infinite number of corners. 3) The sequence of digits in Pi so far passed all known tests for randomness. 4) Here are the first 100 decimal places of Pi 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058 209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679 5) The fraction (22 / 7) is a well used number for Pi. It is accurate to 0.04025%. 6) Another fraction used as an approximation to Pi is (355 / 113) which is accurate to 0.00000849% 7) A more accurate fraction of Pi is(104348 / 33215). This is accurate to 0.00000001056%. 9) There is no zero in the first 31 digits of Pi. 10) Pi is irrational. An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed in the form (a / B) where a and b are integers. 11) It is not known if Pi is normal. No one has proved that Pi isn't normal, so people generally assume that it is. 12) Pi is a transcendental number. (Transcendental means= Not capable of being determined by any combination of a finite number of equations with rational integral coefficients.) 13)In 1991, the Chudnovsky brothers in New York, using their computer, m zero, calculated pi to two billion two hundred sixty million three hundred twenty one thousand three hundred sixty three digits (2, 260, 321, 363). They halted the program that summer. 14) The Babylonians found the first known value for Pi in around 2000BC -They used (25/8). 15) The Bible uses a value of Pi of 3. Here is a verse from I Kings 7,23: And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it about. 16) The first person to use the Greek letter Piwas Welshman William Jones in 1706. He used it as an abbreviation for the periphery of a circle with unit diameter. Euler adopted the symbol and it quickly became a standard notation. 17) The old memory champion was Hideaki Tomoyori, born Sep. 30, 1932. In Yokohama, Japan, Hideaki recited pi from memoryto 40,000 places in 17 hrs. 21 min. including breaks totaling 4 hrs. 15min. on 9-10 of March in 1987 at the Tsukuba University Club House. 18) The Pi memory champion is Hiroyoki Gotu, who memorised an amasing 42,000 digits. 19) The area of a circle is *r2. 19a) The circumference is *d 20) Pi is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet. 21) Definition of Pi- A transcendental number, approximately 3.14159, represented by the symbol 3, that expresses the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle and appears as a constant in many mathematical expressions. 22) Satan doesn't appear in Pi to quick, the first time 666 appears is at position 2440. 23) Pi can be expressed as a quotient in many combinations--Check this out for size!

If you take 10 million digits of Pi, you get exactly 200. 25) In 1931 a Cleveland buisnessman published a book annoucing that Pi is exactly 256/81. 26) If a billion decimals of pi were printed in ordinary type, they would stretch from New York City, to the middle of Kansas. 27) The square root of 9.869604401 is approximately Pi. The square root of a irrational number is irrational too. 28) For a circle to equal pi the diameter must be 1. 29) A long time ago people thought there was an illness attached to trying to 'square a cirle' called Morbus Cyclometricus. 30) Pi in fraction form is - 837393900/266550757. 31) After saying (correctly) that pi/2 is the value of x between 1 and 2 for which cos x vanishes Edmund Landau was dismissed from his position in 1934 for teaching in an 'un-German' style. 32) In the following series of natural numbers, constructed by taking successively larger strings of digits from the beginning of the decimal expansion of the number pi: 3, 31, 314, 31415, 314159, 3141592, etc. the first thousand numbers of the series include only 4 primes. 33) If one were to find the circumference of a circle the size of the known universe, requiring that the circumference be accurate to within the radius of one proton only 39 decimal places of Pi would be necessary. 34) The earliest known reference to Pi is on a Middle Kingdom papyrus scroll, written around 1650 BC by Ahmes the scribe. 35) The old world record for computation of the most digits of pi was achieved in September/October 1995 by Yasumasa Kanada at the University of Tokyo. It took 116 hours for him to compute 6,442,450,000 decimal places of Pi on a computer. 36) A rapidly converging formula for calculation of Pi found by Machin in 1706 was pi/4 = 4 * arctan (1/5) - arctan (1/239). 37) In 1949 it took ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Intergrator and Computer) 70 hours to calculate 2,037 decimal places of Pi. 38) Another name for Pi in Germany is 'die Ludolphsche Zahl' after Ludolph van Ceulen, the German mathematician who devoted his life to calculating 35 decimals of pi. 39) In 1882 Ferdinand Lindemann, proved the transcendence of Pi. 40) By the year 1701 the first 100 digits of pi had been calculated. 41) In 1706 William Jones first gave the Greek letter "ÃÆÃ 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
