Pi maybe give us a break on the whole subject of Pi as too much of anything is never a good thing.
I'll try. Most (95%) of what I say about pi is just a joke. I still haven't figured out why I memorized it.

PS: I didn't do this for my post count. I was only expecting to do 1 or 2 posts.

Sorry about the formatting. Everything looks fine when I post it.

I've been away for a few days and I've come back to be met with this!!!!!

Without sounding like I'm being nasty, why on earth do you have this fixation???

If you want to look at some excellent figures then check out page 3 of "The Sun" instead.

Might just take your mind off 3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 5820974944 5923078164 0628620899 8628034825 3421170679 8214808651 3282306647 0938446095 5058223172 5359408128 4811174502 8410270193 8521105559 6446229489 5493038196 4428810975 6659334461 2847564823 3786783165 2712019091 4564856692 3460348610 4543266482 1339360726 0249141273 7245870066 0631558817 4881520920 9628292540 9171536436 7892590360 0113305305 4882046652 1384146951 9415116094 3305727036 5759591953 0921861173 8193261179.

Alternatively try beer. That'll make you forget everything you ever learnt about Pi. Little more expensive than hypnosis but a million times more fun.

Or if you want to work it out for yourself using the Gregory method, (Fibonacci Numbers) see http://www.mcs.surrey.ac.uk/Personal....html#piandfib

In case you really wanted to know, no its not cheating, unless you are using a hidden calculator [or unhidden too, I guess, but then they wouldn't let you start in the first place]
How could they say whether you were memorizing the cards anyway?
The casinos kick people out and ban them if they think they are "counting" cards [as they call it] but its only their rules and not the law [unless you are using a device etc] If you were smart enough, you could possibly get away with it for a long time; most of the "counters" that do get caught, do so by being too obvious or too greedy.

I have a hard time keeping up with how many times a day I fart & belch, much less this high-falootin' math stuff. Pie are delicious especially if sliced into 3.25 slices!

There is this little blue button with the text 'edit' in the lower-right-corner of you post, why don't you try clicking it...

Somebody didn't see my age.
And it isn't a fixation. As I said, it is mostly a joke.

I don't even memorize it anymore. I just remember it from when I did.

I'll just have to take your age into consideration on that one.

Sure!!! Just kidding. I don't think many members would want you to post it. Also, there is no end to pi, so you have to keep posting forever.
