Tau does all of the work.
Pi gets all of the credit.

I just can't get my head around this subject.

My wife made the crust, I made filling for a berry pie. Delicious.

Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician, with little formal mathematical training, until Hardy and Littlewood recognised his genius and brought him to Cambridge to extend his math education. He discovered a remarkable series for computing pi that converged much more quickly than any other known series.
Much later, the Chudnovsky brothers discovered a variation of Ramanujan’s series that converged even more quickly.
ETA: If Ramujan hadn’t discovered that series, we probably wouldn’t know the value of pi to 31.4 trillion digits. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Pipe Smoker,

Is it irrational to want a piece of cake that day?

As my dad taught me growing up, an average pie is better than a good cake.

A friend in Silicon Valley was a math prof. He celebrates pi day with all his grandkids, gives them awards for who can recite, from memory, the most decimal places of pi. A couple of his grandkids can go up to ~90+ decimals.
