FreeThinker Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Today is 3/14 or 3.14. Pi Day. Celebrate by solving a math problem, but if you're British, you have to wait until 22 July. 22/7. Link to comment
Merkin Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 14/3? No Pi for the Brits. Link to comment
Nick Deverill Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Well I've now seen it all, a mathematical justification for quoting dates in the wrong order. Day/Month/Year is logical as the units increase, but jumping about isn't. Not that I'll 'win' this argument but I do feel a modicum of umbrage is called for Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Also, unless my mind is fogged by too many years, 22/7 and 14/3 aren't not quite the same thing. Sort of close, might suffice for really girly girls, but no mathematician would buy it. Hey, I was joking. No roller derby enforcer types need come calling! C Link to comment
Camy Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Actually, Pi day is 3rd January. But, being British, we didn't mention it. Link to comment
The Pecman Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 You could go see Life of Pi, winner of 4 Academy Awards and 3 Golden Globes! Link to comment
