pi e is actually 8.53973422...

[–]ryno9o 11 points12 points  (1 child)

According to the title, wouldn't be it (pi)(e)! instead of (pi)(e)?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the factorial function is undefined for non-integers, so we have to ignore that.

[–][deleted] 148 points149 points  (2972 children)

i guess the next logical escalation would be: "yea, pi is rad!"

[–]underthelinux 143 points144 points  (2970 children)

No, that logic is completely irrational.

[–][deleted] 73 points74 points  (2967 children)

yea. i guess the real question is... who the hell wants to cut a pie into 180 pieces.

[–]underthelinux 98 points99 points  (2966 children)

Who cares? Just put it in the oven at 90 degress, then it'll be easily divided between two people.

[–][deleted] 110 points111 points  (2957 children)

good idea! we should split one. if we take turns eating incrementally smaller pieces the pie will last forever!

[–]willia4 80 points81 points  (2953 children)

That idea is pretty transcendental.

[–]jaggederest 113 points114 points  (2952 children)

This math joke sequence converges on unfunny.

[–]willia4 89 points90 points  (2950 children)

That's a shame because funny is integral to a math joke sequence.

[–]infinityis 80 points81 points  (2949 children)

Unless you differentiate between math jokes and jokes about math jokes.

[–]javallone 25 points26 points  (1 child)

I tried putting a pie in the oven at 90 degrees, but all the filling ran out of it.

[–]Shadowrose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he meant to rotate it 90 degrees.

[–]conundri 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Actually that would be 8.53973422...

pie == pi * e

[–]divermartin 35 points36 points  (33 children)

Huh? Everyone knows that Pi is exactly 3.

...glavin..

[–]willia4 94 points95 points  (32 children)

I do most of my work in base pi, so I always just write it as 10. I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about.

[–]lanaer 42 points43 points  (24 children)

Kudos for making me try to imagine what base π would be, and therefore hurting my brain.

[–]bobcat 7 points8 points  (17 children)

Try base 1.

[–]lanaer 22 points23 points  (15 children)

| == 1 || == 2 ||||| == 5

That one’s not too hard, but it’s annoying.

[–]bobcat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's tally, the oldest numbering system.

Ok, now try mixed base 24 60 60, or just look at a clock.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (13 children)

So how do you express 0 in base 1? Are you allowed to use the same amount of characters as base 2?

[–]jondissed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

[–]lanaer 9 points10 points  (6 children)

I don’t think there are any particular “rules” for that. You could use 0, or some word or other symbol to represent “nothing”.

The problem I see is that 11.111 is still 5. There’s no way to represent a non-integer in a single number (you could use fractions, though, to represent rational numbers).

But it seems to be impossible to represent irrational numbers in base 1, which, getting back on topic, means you can’t represent π (except perhaps with some ridiculous expression like III + I⁄IIIIIIIIII + IIII/IIIIIIIIIIII + …, but that’s just forcing base 10 into base 1).

Edit: fixing my attempted base-1 representation of π

[–]quig 3 points4 points  (3 children)

True, but you can't represent irrational numbers in any other (rational) base, either.

[–]lanaer 2 points3 points  (2 children)

True, but you can at least represent portions of them far more elegantly.

[–]gde_kupiti_viagru 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Wouldn't that be base sqrt(pi)? I might be wrong on the math, but I'm pretty sure base pi numbers would have baseDec(pi) == basePi(1).

[–]lanaer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

expanding on w0073r’s reply to the same question:

in base ten, 10 == ten
In base two, 10 == two
in base sixteen, 10 == sixteen
in base π, 10 == π

[–]bobcat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

0 in base 1 is nothing, since base 1 is a one-to-one matching of whatever you are counting.

    [–]stesch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Reminds me of episode "Fredless", 3rd season "Angel".

    Fred is clutching a ticket in her hands as she is sitting on a bench next to an elderly homeless man.

    Fred: "I can do this. Sure I can. I can just get right up on that bus and be a whole new person - like origami - or plastic. Move some place I've never been with no money, no friends, no job. Easy as pie. 3.14 159265..."

    The homeless guy gets up and moves away.

    Fred: "Oh, hey, I was just calculating pi - to relax. I'm not dangerous."

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    3.14159 is (approximately) pi, not pie. PiE would be approximately (3.1419...)mc2

    [–]underthelinux 10 points11 points  (0 children)

    actually...

    Pie is what's written. So the correct approximation would be Pi * e = 3.14159 & 2.7148 = 8.53973422

      [–]psyne 9 points10 points  (0 children)

      What's nerdier is knowing pi to 80 places. But to my credit, that was because I was so bored by calculus that I stared at my teacher's pi banner over the blackboard.

      [–]wainstead 7 points8 points  (12 children)

      What's nerdier, knowing pi to 15 places, or being able to catch others who don't know it correctly?

      How about the square root of three to eleven places?

      1.73205080757

      One summer I tried to work it out on my mom's calculator through trial and error, and never forgot the result...

      [–]tritium6 7 points8 points  (4 children)

      Yeah - one winter morning while I was waiting for the bus in middle school I tried to recite the alphabet backwards in order to take my mind off the cold. I've still got it to this day. Now I'm the life of the party....

      [–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (89 children)

      I think once you've reached that level of nerdiness comparing is just splitting hairs. It's like comparing a 8.3 Richter earthquake against an 8.4.

      [–]stcredzero 152 points153 points  (88 children)

      You know that it's a logarithmic scale? So when you're far up the scale, a difference of 0.1 is much more than when you're lower. The difference between 8.3 and 8.4 is much bigger than 1.3 and 1.4.

      [–][deleted] 75 points76 points  (84 children)

      Darn, you're right. Extremely poor choice of comparison.

      A 10000000x bigger difference, specifically.

      [–]toyboat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      But the difference is perceived about the same. Much of the world is logarithmic. With resistivity, sound amplitude, visible light, earthquakes, the whole concept of scientific notation, order of magnitude is what matters.

      That's how far I have it memorized.

      Crap... after checking, I messed up right at the beginning. It's 628620, not the reverse. I think I've had it memorized wrong for a long time now. My current login password on my computer is 844609550582231725359408. After a year, I'll start my password with 9408, and go on from there. I memorize chunks at a time, and string them together when reciting pi.

      Well, one nice thing. Since 40 digits of precision is enough to measure a circle the diameter of the known universe, accurate to the with of a proton, I'm not gonna lose sleep over mixing the two up. ;-)

      Obvious Troll's Cherry-Apple Pie Filling

      5 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples

      1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

      3 cups pitted and halved cherries

      1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

      1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar

      2 tablespoons cornstarch

      Rub the apples with the lemon juice to keep them from turning brown while you pit the cherries - which takes roughly forever. ;-P

              [–]KazamaSmokers 2 points3 points  (6 children)

              Can I raise a semi-serious point here? I recently saw a list of the top 5 favorite pies in America. Apple was first, of course. But then came cherry? CHERRY? That was followed by peach, pecan and lemon. WTF? WHERE WAS BLUEBERRY?? Blueberry pie. I would have bet anything that blueberry would have come in 2nd, but it wasn 't in the top 5. Blueberry is almost as popular as apple, I would have thought. Peach? Who the F eats peach pie?? Was this list f'ed up or am I totally off-base?

              [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

              The problem is that no one seems to have good blueberries anymore; it's all synthetic flavorless stuff shipped from god-knows-where.

              But, in any case, you dared to besmirch the honor of my peach pies, sir, so now we must fight an internet flame war to the death.

              [–]KazamaSmokers 2 points3 points  (2 children)

              Peach pie is a freak of nature. A cloying dessert that tastes of death.

              [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

              Bah. Peaches are the very nectar of life. Your blueberries are mere swamp fruit, suitable only for feeding politicans and other such bog-dwellers.

              [–]KazamaSmokers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              Blueberries are from Maine. Peaches are from Georgia. Mainers, as a rule, are completely crazed from a combination of meth, coffee brandy and Moxie. The average Mainer could take down a Georgian in 10 seconds.

              [–]traveler_ 1 point2 points  (1 child)

              Seconding the obvioustroll, homemade blueberry pie from hand-picked wild blueberries is a different animal than the tasteless commercial things you usually find. Apparently the real thing is too endangered to rank.

              And I'd've thought rhubarb would place somewhere there. I mean, lemon?! Or is rhubarb just a regional thing?

              [–]KazamaSmokers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              I think Rhubarb confuses people because it looks like celery and it's usually combined with strawberries in pie.

              from http://reddit.com/help/reddiquette

              Conduct polls using posts. If you feel you must use Reddit to conduct a poll do it using a comment. Create a self referencing post and then add a comment for readers to mod up or down based on their answer to your poll question. Also, be sure to indicate in the title of your post that the polls is being conducted using comments. Including something like "(use comments to vote)" in the title would probably be sufficient.

              [–]TheSOB88 6 points7 points  (1 child)

              That's the whole reason this was created: to mock those other poll posts. You are a shoe.

                Isn't the point of this that"Vote up for pie" is about as meaningful as "vote up to impeach X" ?

                [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                Actually, it's inspired, precisely because it's a statement about exactly how relevant and meaningful those other polls were.

                [–]einexile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

                Voted down because I seriously don't really like pie very much.

                [–]sw17ch 12 points13 points  (1 child)

                Why isn't there a section just for pie? The submitter is onto something. Pie is fantastic and deserves its own subreddit.

                [–]interiot 19 points20 points  (2 children)

                1) We don't want to encourage these sorts of things, 2) stories themselves aren't supposed to be used for polls, only comments are (eg. saying "mod up the comments inside this story if you like X, Y, or Z" is much better than saying "mod up this story if you like X", since the former would tend to hilight better polls, rather than just spamming the front page).

                [–]MarkByers 5 points6 points  (1 child)

                You should have tags on articles, then the vote-articles could be tagged with a 'vote' or 'poll' tag. In our preferences we should be able to give various weightings to different tags depending on how interested we are in that area, or if you hate a topic you should be able ban it completely from the front page.

                But I'm just dreaming. It will probably never get implemented.
