Going to have trouble sleeping after that

That invoked the response, "omfg, lol"
it may be the drink though, I will have to watch it again in the morning.
It's a bit worrying that I could sing pi along with the robot...

Its like Seasame street on crack.

Pompey Magnus

What was that? Was it some kind of satanic ritual?

they calculated pi to only 191 decimal places. Thats just lame. Here's pi to 1000. Mwua ha ha

Well, it was a million, but someone screwed it up apparently

Anto and Moe

Here it is to an actual MILLION DIGITS, man pi rocks.

Wooaaahhh

Thats all I can think of when I see this

Everybody..sing along!

Considering how long Pi is, and how no end has been found yet, I'd say you could easily have your Pi and eat it too.

Kate Bush anyone?

I found the Lyrics, the whole thing has really sinister undertones:

When ink and pen in hands of men
Inscribe your form, bipedal P
They draw an altar on which
God has slaughtered all stability
No eyes could ever soak in all the places you anoint
And yet to see you all at once we only need the point
Flirting with infinity, your geometric progeny
That fit inside you oh so tight
With triangles that feel so right

Your ever-constant homily says flaw is discipline
The patron saint of imperfection frees us from our sin
And if our transcendental lift shall find a final floor
Then Man will know the death of God where wonder was before

Yeah, I know this Pi @#@backwards and forwards
Check it out

I did three chicks then I pointed at the door
A girl entered in so that made it four
I snapped one time in came another five
Add 'em all up and that makes nine
The average age 26.5
Now that's what I call gettin' some pi
Five of the chicks wore 6-inch heels
Two of the nine squealed like seals
514 was the area code
Quebec, Canada my winter abode
And my 1.3 million dollar chalet
Pi backwards, pi forwards, all night and all day

Pi is irrational meaning it cannot be expressed as a fraction (as a decimal it goes on forever).This has been proven mathematically

Pi is also transcendental, which mean pi is a number that is not the root of any integer polynomial, meaning that it is not an algebraic number of any degree (again proven)

No pattern has been found in its decimal representation. Someone noticed that the number of 7's in it were less than all the others, suggesting there was some sort of pattern was emerging, but then he realised he had made a mistake in his pi calculations

Interestingly thought, apparently someone has found a way in octal/hex (I can't remember which) which will give you the nth decimal of Pi, without calculating the proceeding digits, suggesting a possible pattern in the numbers...

whatever happens its a pretty cool number ;-)

whoooa.....k

it was funnily bad at the start but then it was was just WIERD

smk135

that was really really weird

daithimac

its late so that was way to creepy for me, on a sidenote is pi not 22/7

gilroyb

Pi is Pi, you can't write it. You can only write an approximation of it.

Vague approximation used for simple calculations.

Crazee sheeaz!

Lying maths teachers. What is is then?

That was strange and so so good! Gotta check out some more Keith Schofield videos.

22/7 = 3.14 when rounding to two decimal places, which is usually what a secondary school student would be working with (as much as I can remember anyway). So that method is correct if Pi is only needed up to two decimal places unless I'm very wrong about this. Of course if you are using it for Pi to the power of 3, then you are in trouble.

Unless you were me. I used it to ten decimal places, just to annoy the teacher. :v:
