Yikes! When I'm doing a calculation in my head, pi = 3

My brain couldn't handle 3.14 or 22/7


I saw something about the autistic guy. He didn't memorize pi. Somehow, he just sees each successive digit as shapes and colors (or something like that).

Shouldn't that be rounded to 3.141593?

So is there also a phi day? Or more precisely, a phi moment. .382 or so into the year and then .618 into the year?

Great video. Notice at the bottom of that video's page it says, "Encoded for STD Quicktime". STD Quicktime could be interpreted the wrong way.

I used to know pi to 100 places. I can remember it to 60 now.

Happy pi day!

But they probably can't handle 100 digits.
