Tweedledee and Tweedledum

Pi

So, I don't know if you all realize this or not, but Pi Day is coming up. It's next Saturaday (March 14, 3/14, 3.14). I hope you all have your parties planned and are making pies and the works. Every year our school has a contest on Pi Day to see who knows the most numbers of pi. Last year someone got to 280 numbers past the decimal. I decided that to prove myself as a math nerd, I would beat that and get 300. I started yesterday. I was going to do fifty a day until I got to 300. I had fifty numbers in my calculator (it is an awesome calculator!). I memorized those during trig class. I wrote it down and recited it a million times. Thoughout the day I cemented it into my memory. I wasn't going to forget those numbers. Today I woke up and printed off about 780 numbers just because that was what was on the screen. I started memorizing. I got all the way to a hundred places past the decimal when it hit me. I wasn't going to be at school the Friday before Pi Day, which was when the competition was. I couldn't compete. I was memorizing the numbers for nothing. What can you possibly do with a hundred numbers of pi? You never need more than 5 at the most. So I figured that posting pi on my blog would have to suffice. Rest assured that this number is coming straight from my memory. Well, here goes-

I hope you all celebrate Pi Day next Saturday.
