Every day is Pie day, although March 14 might be worth an extra slice of pi.

What would you do with an extra piece of pi?

Something constant......

Now, that's darn clever!

15?
You guys are being irrational about pi. March 14 this year will be special, 3/14/15 (because pi is 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865132823066470938446095505822317253594081284811174502841027019385211055596446229489549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485669234603486104543266482133936072602491412737245870066063155881748815209209628292540917153643678925903600113305305488204665213841469519415116094330572703657595919530921861173819326117931051185480744623799627495673518857527248912279381830119491298336733624406566430860213949463952247371907021798609437027705392171762931767523846748184676694051320005681271452635608277857713427577896091736371787214684409012249534301465495853710507922796892589235420199561121290219608640344181598136297747713099605187072113499999983729780499510597317328160963185950244594553469083026425223082533446850352619311881710100031378387528865 and so on and on and on...

How about a mile of pi, would that be enough? => http://youtu.be/0r3cEKZiLmg

Wayne,

I thought that video of a mile of pi was turned into an advertisement very cleverly.

I'm curious as to why we need to know pi to that length/depth/whatever.
There must be a reason or is it the same as why mountains are climbed?

[webenda]

At 39 digits, we have enough pi to calculate the volume of the known universe with atomic precision (literally!) Beyond 39 it is a geek competition thing... or an advertisement for HP printers.

Playing with pi can be fun. There are programs for your computer that use the modern personal computer to calculate millions of digits of pi. How about a clock divided into radians instead of degrees, you know, 2pi radians equals 360 degrees.

[rogruth]

That explains where the numbers go on a clock.

Well then, that's a serious matter.

Martin,
here is the mock up.
this is made in Bristol for test purpose.
the other one could be cut in plywood or RC board.


Andre.

[rogruth]

Andre,

You cut that by hand? My compliments to your work.
I can't focus my eyes on small stuff and even have problems putting together a pre-cut kit.
Your piece in OST on making air brake hoses come to mind and some other stuff you have done.
IMHO you are a true craftsman in brass work. I recall lamp posts also.

Let us see more.
