Pime Travel

When you visualize yourself indulging in a time travel experiment meeting the infinite digits of the transcendental number π, hoping to be struck with some aha! moments, or to experience a flash of insights, along the numerological journey.

Would someone embarking on a pime travel mission be able to see the color or shape of the number pi, or to smell or taste it?

Pi in the Sky

When math-anxious or mathophobic folks are prepared to watch a movie on the number π, or to listen to a podcast on it, on a “flight to nowhere,” as they take pride in playing their part to keep their national airline from going under.

Environmental groups have criticized those “Pi in the Sky” vanity flights, which would release millions of tons of carbon dioxide in polluting the environment.

🇸🇬 🔢

Singapore Math in two characters. A mélange of the best math curriculums from the East and the West, which is arguably the catalyst for Singapore students to repeatedly rank top in international comparative studies like PISA and TIMSS.

In emoji, 🇸🇬 🔢 = (🇺🇸 + 🇬🇧 + 🇨🇳 + 🇰🇷 + 🇷🇺 + 🇮🇱) × 🔢—why should Singapore reinvent the wheel when it can steal the best mathematical ideas from others?

Trumpffiti

Any creative or mean writing, or funny or X-rated drawing, on Donald J. Trump in a public square, which pokes fun at his idiotic and idiosyncratic behaviors; or at his narcissistic, racist, and supremacist tweets.

A sample of Trumpffiti are:

2. UNfit 4 President: #NotMyPresident
3. Trump’s crimes: Pussygate (2016), Zelenskygate (2019), Coronagate (2020), Capitolgate (2021)

Picode

When the consecutive digits of a barcode pop up among the digits of the decimal number π, which might lead the discoverer to suspect whether there could be some hidden message from a deity or the devil to them and their loved ones.

Paul inquired from both Western and Eastern numerologists on the meaning or significance of the picode, which came to him through a dream some three-odd weeks ago.
