That actually sounds pretty accurate based on my experience… I’ll have to use that rule from now on.

And yes, of course I’m proud of my school.

Never complain that your school is too geeky. It’s a sign of health!

Pi reminded me of a good rule I learned, by the way. Whenever you need to estimate time a client project will take (design / production wise), go with your gut feeling, then multiply by Pi. It works every time.

It’s not that hard to forget… I mean, it’s not the sort of thing that creeps into normal conversation unless you’re with a group of math majors…

I can do 11 digits. 3.14159265359. It’s good enough for any actual use of the number

I totally forgot about pi day…again. *sigh*

I did have pi memorized out 30 or 40 places at one time…
