It's that day where we celebrate the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, the number whose digits keep going on forever.

*throws some pi around*

And at 2:00 PM it will be 3/14 15:00, but unfortunately you have to stop there.

I guess you could assume that it wraps around, so 15:92 is 16:32

I told a few people at work about Pi Day. One of them thought I was talking about pie, like the food

Also, a student had apparently never heard of a square root sign. He was working on logarithms, and I'd think schools would introduce roots before logarithms. Or he was just pulling my leg.

Maybe he was used to just doing sqrt() his whole life.

I'm sure he was pulling your leg.

Because e is less famous, I guess.

I think 2-7 could be e day, especially at 18:28

All you really need to know is that it's
0 . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14...

There are worse pages, like normal number. It's altogether too late in the day for something like that.

I once tried to understand Graham's number and my brain broke.

OK, take the number 3. Now, imagine the number 333, which is 7625597484987. This is the number of 3's in the next sequence, 333... which has 7625597484987 3's all raised to each other's power. Now, you're not done; you need to keep making towers of 3s with the number of 3s that is the last number you get until you've done it "7625597484987 3's all raised to each other's power" times.

This is what we call g1, also written 3^^^^3, where ^ is exponentiation, ^^ is tetration (i.e., repeated exponentiation, e.g., 5^^2 = 5^5, 5^^6 is 5^5^5^5^5^5), ^^^ is repeated tetration, etc.

Now, for g2, you take g1, and that it how many ^ symbols go between the next pair of 3s. So, that ridiculous a level of operation with repeating every level before it. Then, for g3, you take g2 ^ symbols, and so on until you reach Graham's number, which is g64.

Not sure if my explanation is flawed. It might be.

Good thing there's a Simple English wiki entry for it.

I don't really understand what the significance of this number is, though. Or rather, what is the significance of it being the upper bound on the solution to a particular problem in Ramsey theory? All the wiki pages are vague about it...

All I know is that I had to use Pi when calculating the area of a circle, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm kind of a math idiot, so I'm expecting to have gotten that wrong.
