Happy Pi day
You’ll be forgiven for having missed it, but Saturday marked a once in a century event – Pi day.
For the less mathematically gifted amongst us Pi Day is the exact time and date that line up to form the numbers of Pi – (and please forgive the American use of the date, it’s the only way you can get it to works as April doesn’t have 31 days) 3-14-15, the only time until 2015 the date lines up for the first five digits of the infinite number.
Unsurprisingly brands jumped on the bandwagon.
In fairness to Ford if Dr Mumbo’s maths classes had been like this he might have paid more attention:
For those of us not in North America, July 22 gets us close to Pi day (22/7).
And if you use Aussie dates … celebrate on 31st April 2015 at 9:26:53 am.
We’ll be hanging in there for that day JG…
Did anyone notice that Channel 10 put the Life of Pi on Saturday night?
Psst Alex. You did get the joke didn’t you?
