How accurately do you know one of the most important numbers in the world of mathematics, physics, and engineering?

Pi is pretty much 3.14 for me... always is, always will be.

I only know it as 3.14 - I have no need to know any more digits.

Ooh Snapness, 18 digits :D

Waay too much time on my hands ;)

I know it permanently to 5 decimal places as it is the manufacturers code on my DVD player that I use to evily watch many different regions of DVDs with. It's a fantastic inside joke XD

3.14159 for the win!

I know it as 3.14 or 22/7.

3.14.

3.14, since I am not a math person and have no need for it in my daily life.

I must be totally dumb. I don't even know what pi is...

Fri Sep 08, 2006 3:59 pm

I always know it as 3.142 :)

The pi we are refering to is π.

Fri Sep 08, 2006 4:13 pm

3.14, pretty much what everyone else said. No reason to learn further into a number that has no conclusive end, as, chances are, you will never have to go further than the first couple of digits..

Fri Sep 08, 2006 4:29 pm

Five decimals. 3.14159. I have it to 1000 decimals... somewhere...

Fri Sep 08, 2006 4:30 pm

3.14. That's it.
