Three facts about pi on Pi Day:

• The first known pi-partying day was in 1988 at the San Francisco-based Exploratorium science museum, where staff and visitors had a circular parade. However, the day became an official national event in 2009, when the House of Representatives passed Resolution 224 in an attempt to increase interest in math and science.
• Chao Lu holds the official world record for reciting the greatest number of digits of pi, to 67,890 places in 2005.
• The ancient Babylonians knew of pi's existence nearly 4,000 years ago, demonstrated in a tablet that calculates pi as 3.125. The Greek mathematician Archimedes (287-212 B.C.) approximated pi using the Pythagorean theorem, a geometric relationship between the length of a triangle's sides and the area of the polygons inside and outside of circles.

I was also going to give .14 of a fact, but couldn’t figure out how.

May I ask you a favor?

[Cole]

I read your broken ward entry. I apologize that my curiosity got the best of me. Can we talk about it?

[Zach]

I need your help with [...] an experiment.

[Solo]

I apologize, but I did read some of what you said when the wards broke. I’d like to talk with you about it.

If you disemvoweled your last fact, maybe that'll do it.

[ghostbluster]

That's a good one! I couldn't top it even if I a-pi'd myself.

And they say Congress never gets anything done.

[ghostbluster]

Even a broken clock is still right twice a day.

[electable]

I can't imagine there was much pushback on National Pi Day. Everyone loves pi. And pie!

[ghostbluster]

What are the odds the entire group thought they were voting on pie day?

[browbeats]

I really need to get going if I ever want to take down that smug Chao Lu.

[ghostbluster]

Show him who's boss. I think you should aim for being able to recite it to 314,159 places.

[browbeats]

I can't deny how aesthetically pleasing that is.

[ghostbluster]

Me too. Now you have to do it, or I'll fall into a bottomless pit of depression. No pressure, though.

[electable]

I believe in you!

[browbeats]

155 down, 67,736 to go. With your faith, it seems doable.

[ghostbluster]

155 is great progress, though. Have you tried piphilology?

[readingrainbows]

Maybe cut yourself off mid—

[Bert]

Is it BAD that I'm ready to agree before I even ASK what the experiment is?

[ghostbluster]

I did consider that, but then wouldn't it be just a portion of a sentence, not a portion of a fact? Anyway, I don't think I could stand to give only a part of a fact.

[Zach]

Possibly, in this instance.

[readingrainbows]

What if I told you [...] 1/7th? Sorry, I'm NOT very good at MATH of a seven-part fact? I THINK I might know exactly SEVEN things about [...] fastnachts! They're doughnuts made by the Pennsylvania Dutch! But that's ALL you get to know.

[Bert]

Oops! Well, it's TOO LATE now.

Liberty

[colemoss]

oh. [...] it's ok, liberty. it wasn't a secret or anything.



what should we talk about??

Liberty/Cole

[ghostbluster]

Have you spoken to Mufferaw yet and, if so, was it helpful? What did he tell you?

Liberty/Cole

[colemoss]

not yet. i will. [...] i've been thinking he might not have an answer, though. you know?? since he didn't bring it up during the assembly or anything. and he brought up everything else.

[...]

do you want me to tell you how it goes??

Bash/Bertie

[professionalcorpse]

yeah, sure. go for it!

Bash/Bertie

[ghostbluster]

I'd like to try getting drunk at the grotto party, but I would need you to pull double duty. Make sure my cabin is accounted for and all. I hate to put you out, though.

Bash/Bertie

[professionalcorpse]

no, that's - that's totally fine! i mean, i wasn't gonna be drinking anyway? and we're all headed in the same direction. so. i'll just be super not-drunk and extra aware and shit. it's no problem.

Solo | Bert

[theniceboy]

It’s okay. We can talk about it.

Solo | Bert

[ghostbluster]

I'm concerned about you. I'm sure you know how unsafe this behavior is, but I'm not here to lecture you.

Re: Solo | Bert

[theniceboy]

I do know how unsafe this behavior is, and I appreciate the lack of a lecture, Bert. [...] I assume there was more to the talking than that?
