Too bad it wasn't April 1.

old joke

by James Denison Mar 13, 2015 4:08PM PDT

Farmer sends his son to college, the first in family history to attend.
Son comes home to visit and proud father wants to show off his smart son at party.
"Son, what have you been learning at college?"

"Well Dad, we've been studying algebra this semester"

"Son, speak some algebra to us".

Son realizes most wouldn't understand so decides to just make it easy.

"Dad, in algebra we learn that pi r squared"

Father is aghast, deeply embarassed, in front of all his farmer friends.

"Son, I sent you to college to be taught such nonsense? You KNOW that pie are round and cornbread are square!"

Us Brits

by MarkFlax Forum moderator Mar 13, 2015 5:14PM PDT

Sadly for us Brits this doesn't work.

3/14/2015-9:26:53 is not a relevant date/time.

Day first, then month, gives 14/3/2015-9:26:53. Not Pi, not anything significant!

In fact I am not even sure if our date/time structure would ever have given something as significant as Pi.

*sigh*

Us Europeans.

We had e-day (Euler's number) long ago. e is the base of the natural logarithms. http://www.rapidtables.com/math/number/e_constant.htm tells about it. I think most mathematicians would rank e as even more important than π (although it's a difficult comparison).

2.71828182846 makes 2.7.1828 18:28:46 (that's 7/2/1828 18:28:46 for our US friends)

For Fibonacci-day we'll have to wait quite a long time. But it's the same day in the UK and in the US!

Minus-epsilon to the power of pi i.

I'm told that's something special.

And ...

by Kees_B Forum moderator Mar 13, 2015 10:46PM PDT

There was g-day (Golden Ratio = 1.61803398874989...) on 1.6.1803 or 1/6/1803. The hh:mm:ss part doesn't work, but there's no need for that for a day.

So now we already have:
- π-day
- e-day
- f-day
- g-day
with only the first one excluding the UK as a participant.

Anybody offering any more?

a significant number for Netherlands

by James Denison Mar 14, 2015 3:05PM PDT

Also a lucky date, but have to wait another 95 years now.

http://www.timeanddate.com/date/10-10-10.html

Another significant date soon, 5/10/15 will be Confederate Day.

For Jews, it's the actual date that the Roman, Vespasian began the attack on Jerusalem in AD 70 which ended Judea as a nation.

Judah's land...and, except for Cyrus,

by Steven Haninger Mar 14, 2015 7:08PM PDT

it would have been gone hundreds of years before? Jews would be Babylonians? It could seem that rule never lasted more than a few generations.
