Happy Belated Pi Day!

Happy Belated Pi Day, everyone1 Pi Day was last Wednesday, 3/14. It started at approximately 1:59 a.m. In my math class, we did many activities that envolved Pi. One of them was memorizing and recording as many digits of Pi as we could. I got to 3.141592653589793238462643383279502883197169. Some people such as Tamar memorized a really large amount of digits!

Random Pi Facts:

  • At the 763rd digit of Pi, there are six 9's in a row. This is called the Feynman Point.
  • Albert Einstein's birthday is on March 14, Pi day. 
  • Pi has well over 5 billion digits, and is would take over 120 years to recite all of them! (this fact was found on www.dreambox.com)
If you have found/ know any more facts, feel free to comment to tell them to be!
