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 [itex]1000000\pi[/itex] th post. We all know what [itex]\pi[/itex] is...
 
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?)

https://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=3141592 (3?)

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.

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.

Awwww! We just passed [Mπ].
Who got it?!
