The discussion revolves around participants sharing how many digits of pi they can remember, with some claiming to know up to 300 digits. There are links provided to resources for those interested in memorizing more digits, including a site offering pi to 50,000 decimal places. The conversation also touches on the significance of Pi Day, celebrated on March 14, and the idea of potentially having an "e day" to celebrate the mathematical constant e, although participants note that it lacks the same appeal as Pi Day. Food is a recurring theme, with members discussing their favorite pie flavors for Pi Day celebrations, including a humorous mention of taco pie. Additionally, there's a light-hearted exchange about the relevance of memorizing pi digits, with some seeing it as a fun way to impress fellow math enthusiasts. The thread concludes with a nod to the coincidence that Albert Einstein was born on Pi Day.

There's a story that Andrew Wiles (if you don't know who he is, just google) met his wife that way. He was sitting on a park bench reciting digits of pi to himself, somewhere out in the hundreds, and she came along and started chiming in.

Did you know that tomorrow is also Einstein's birthday? He was born on \pi day! Is that cool or what?

That's pretty screwed up, but in a good way.

Taco Pie :confused:
Be careful, this forum is supposed to have a G rating.
HA! :bugeye: Does that count in GD? Either a G rating is higher then I thought, or...well...a G rating must be higher then I thought.
