My timezone is GMT-6. I still have to wait 48 minutes before Pi day.

For the song, you should add the digits of "e" as the harmony.

That is a really good idea, I might do it.

(Or should I say 11.00100 10000 11111 10110 10101 00010 00100 00101 10100 01 or 3.243F6 A8885 A308D 31319 8A2E0 37073 44A40 93822 299F day?) I am rather offended that we are supposed to cheer at every hour 59:26! We should only cheer at 3/14 1:59:26:535. Oh well...

You cheer every hour until every time zone has past through Pi Time...

so there is always a time zone at 3/14 1:59:26.

BTW, Aren't there other times to celebrate being there are time zones that are are a half hour off of the standard. Just a thought.

Yes, there's at least one city in China that is that way....

There is also a time zone like that in Indiana

No, Indiana (or part of it) just doesn't do daylight savings time...same where I live (Arizona). Half the year we're an hour ahead of CA, the other half we're right with them...it's not like, 5:00 there 5:30 here ever though...that's what I think he was talking about...in China there's timezones that, at one time the time will be 5:00, 5:30, and 6:00 all at the same time, so by celebrating pi day every hour, we'd miss a time zone...

India, Newfoundland, and several other areas are a half-hour off.

There's even this one: GMT+05:45 Kathmandu
For the Windows users, if you double click your systray clock and look in the timezone tab, there's a list of all timezones.

There's also a link in the article...but I know all you guys just post about an article that you never read... ;)

I did read the article, I just think that the page mentioned in the article isn't the easiest way to search for 'weird' time zones. I had to look three times before finding 'Chatham Island', with an offset of 45 minutes. And that's probably just because it's very near the bottom, and I knew what to look for. If I hadn't know such a time zone existed in the first place, or it was in the middle of that very long list, I probably wouldn't have found it.

In honor of Pi Day, the Pi-Search page upgraded to 200 million searchable digits of pi, not just 100 million.

Expect a call form me! =>

I have a book called "The Joy of Pi." It has the history of pi, all the formulas to compute pi, and some cool jokes. Here's a good one:

Definitions of pi:
Math teacher: pi is the ratio between a circle's circumference and its diameter
Physicist: pi is 3.141592653589 plus or minus 0.0000000000005
Engineer: pi is about 3

me: pi=-i*ln(-1)

The last thing is QUITE interesting...

Who would've though that pi is relater to i?

Euler discovered that. The actual formula in the book is e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0.

The most beautiful theorem ever.

I like to write it as

-e^(i*pi)=1

That way, there's a negitive one and a one.

Or in LaTeX, which makes it look better:

$$-e^{i\pi}=1$$

that is the best way to write it, because you have 5 of the 6 most important numbers in a single equation, the sixth of course being phi, the golden ratio.

That's indeed the best way to write it. In that formula you have:
- The five most important constants (in no particular order 0, 1, pi, e and i)
- The three most important operators (+, * and ^)
- The most important comparator (is that a word?) (namely =)
And, above all, it's actually true. :D

Yeah, that last part is kinda necessary...without it, I could just say:
1+0*pi^e=i^(-1*4) which also includes another concept (negative numbers) and uses parentheses to denote order of operations...but it isn't...wait...scratch that...it IS true!!! ;)

Yeah, but somehow I find it less elegant. Anyway, that's just my taste. (Nice job finding that formula though!)

All I did was multiply by zero to get rid of all that e stuff, and I know that i^(4x) where x is any integer = 1...not too difficult

I have that book!
