When the public announcement of the proof of a famous unsolved problem on π turned out to be short-lived, because the result was later found to contain grave errors.
Mathematicians worldwide were excited to hear that the number (π + e) has been proved to be transcendental (i.e., its value can’t be the root of an algebraic equation with rational coefficients), but the news was nothing but a pi moment.

Get the Pi Moment mug.When the number π uses its celebrity status in popular culture to push other mathematical constants or beloved numbers around so that they remain out of sight to the lay public, who might otherwise discover their hidden beautiful numerical or geometric properties.
Some numerical rebels like 0, √2, e, i, and 𝛷 have ganged together to protest against pi’s irrationality—they wanted π to be censored for its bullying behaviors and condescending attitudes vis-à-vis fellow mathematical constants and geometric figures.

Get the Pork Pies mug.The most fucking boring and longest book I was ever forced to read. In the end the main character says the whole story was a lie anyway, so you end up waisting about two months of your life for a shitty ending.

person#2: that fucking sucks. just go to sparknotes.com print out theirs.

Wow Chris, you're such an 8-pi. Nobody cares about how you got that math problem wrong. Stop following me, I don't care.
