AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of identifying the "pi'th" post in a forum with a current post count of 3,141,444. Participants debate the mathematical implications of pi, suggesting that the pi'th post would technically be the 1,000,000 times pi post, as irrational numbers cannot be exact post numbers. There is a humorous demand for transparency regarding the identities of users who made significant posts, particularly those corresponding to the digits of pi, such as 3, 31, and 314. The conversation highlights the changing nature of post counts due to deletions, emphasizing that the pi'th post may not remain constant over time. Users also share instructions on how to view the current post count on the forum. The thread concludes with a playful acknowledgment of the recent post that may have been the pi'th post, linking to specific user contributions.

Right now the post count is 3,141,444. Any guess who will make the pi'th post?

If this is 3,141,445th post then pi'th post is already gone.
Pi is 3.1415 ... and its already 3 million past.
 
Technically it would be the 1000000\pi th post. We all know what \pi is...

If we're going that way then it would technically be the [1000000\pi] post, since irrational numbers are not post numbers :biggrin:

And yes, we all know that pi equals 4... exactly...
 
Greg Bernhardt is WITHHOLDING vital information about our Pi posters!
I'm sure I was one, at a particular time! :angry:

Thus, I DEMAND that we get to know who the posters were having the following posts:

No. 3, 31 314 3142 31415
and so on..

Come on Greg, you cannot hide the truth any longer!

https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=3141 (or should it be rounded to 3142?)

https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=31415 (31416?)

Note that number of posts in database changes, some posts get deleted. So, post that becomes pith post according to the main page counter doesn't have to be pithpost forever. However, pith post that is pith according to database internal counter, will be pith forever.

It is a little bit convoluted.

I knew it. Pi are not squared, pi are rounded.

Where can you see what the post count is? :confused:

Go to the main page, then look to the right (where you see things like "which users are online, etc."). There's something called "forum stats" where you see the total number of posts.
