Golden means?
For the mathematically reclined, I am starting a counter-faction to battle the "I Like Pie" group. It shall be called "I Like Pi". As soon as we get 3.14152 members, we can take over the other group. THEY only have THREE members! Help me overthrow the oppressors! Join "I Like Pi"!
Remember, we're COUNTING on you!

Argh... I've already bungled it! Alas, poor Horatio... I knew him well! It's a Golden RATIO.
I know that was mean of me.

shouldn't it be :
I Like Π or
I Like π

Πrates? I gets irates when we talks Πrates! September 19th, and not a second before! ;-)
We still need at least .14152 members...

Well, since I'm not that good at the uberlevels of math I'll be the .14152th member. What do I do? Put "I like Pi" in my list?

aha, or not ! maybe i was too late...
iqon on Jul 16, 2007
We need 22 members so we can divide into 7 groups.

Whew, that was close. I was worried about having to divide myself up like that. ;)

I thought there were usually 8 pieces to pie?
redcrew on Jul 16, 2007
bjendrick,
Depends on the type of pie, at least at our house. Apple and fresh strawberry pies are rarely cut into more than 6 pieces.

You mean octal?
All your base-8 are belong to us

1.618!
mvisconte on Jul 24, 2007
0.618!
2, 4, 618!
Who do we all decimate!
Not that numbers is a passion or passtime (it's long past time I had a passtime), but...
While there is a certain beautiful simplicity in 22 / 7 (and a great ease in calculating, in case you lost your "real" calculator), it's still off by... let me see. Add the cosargent of pluto, carry the kilo, divide by the lost continent of Mu, and.. Ah. 0.04%
(mind you, not 4%, but 0.04%). Close, but cigars are so costly these days -- politics being correctly what they are.
Instead, let's love the numbers, and they will luv us. Show me the luv, baby!
1, 3, 5... the first three, non-even (argueably) prime numbers. Shift to another universe, and...
11 33 55 (which, while no longer prime, are composed of prime multiples of primes -- heh heh heh... inside joke)
-> 113 355 (re-group and fall ahead)
-> 355 / 113 (re-order and denominate)
= (drum roll......)
3.1415929203539823008849557522124
which you have to admit is pretty durned close.
For an error of
8.49137 x 10^-6 %
Which, in order to be imperfectly tedious, is NOT the same as 0.08% but instead (gets slide rule out)...
0.000000849137 %
off the bean, or beam, or out of round... however you wish to say it.
Yippee! I've spent another 15 minutes w/out getting my work done!

It's a Πpe dream...
