Pi Day ! 3.14 and what ?

Was Pi day today! 14th of March or 3-14 in USA style date.

It is a constant and an irrational number (its decimals goes on forever) and is defined as the number you get when you divide the circumference of a circle by its diameter.

People have tried to find the last digit of Pi for many years. There are databases on the internet with a million digits of Pi etc…and still no pattern to predict the next digit.

I have made over the years several computer codes to find the next digit of Pi. It is a great way to waste a lot of time…

I know a simple way to remember the first 15 digits.

How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lecture involving quantum mechanics…

Count the letters of each word : 3. 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 4 3 5 ….useless but fun trivia.

Try to see if your birthday is in the digits of Pi. Use the below and type your birthday the link will tell you how far down the decimals of Pi you need to go before you can find that sequence of numbers, mine is quite soon at 8434: Pi

I am always puzzled by numbers that have an infinite number of decimal points like Pi. Each time we find a new digit, the number Pi is bigger than the previous one but by a smaller amount…so it is bigger each time for an infinite amount of time but the number Pi itself will never grow to infinite.

Here are the first 1000 digits of Pi :
