Law of pi

In engineering, every task will take exactly 3.141592 times as long as initially anticipated. The Law of pi is therefore commonly used along project managers when they ask engineers how much time they think they need to finish their work.

Arjan: How long will it take you to finish the design of those tubes?
Vincent: about one and a half hour I think
Arjan: OK, so taking the Law of pi into account, that's gonna take you exactly 282 minutes

Working Out Pi

When both professional and amateur mathematicians worldwide go beyond calculating the number π to billions of digits to often set up world records—their effective algorithms or methods or formulas used to achieve these high-precision calculations also directly or indirectly help usher in new developments in mathematics.

The mathematical brethren’s quest for working out pi is like MAGA patriots doing all they can to ensure that their cult leader gets reelected by any means, legal or not.

pi boyz

The best fucking band ever created, they assemble each 1000 years to fight against evil. Born from the pits of Mordor Prezi and his friends shall free us from slavery once again. Some say they are related to Piratas de Villa Helena.

Person 1: Dude, the new song that Pi Boyz released is totally sick.
Person 2: Sure dude... *suffers a seizure*

Person1: lol

Pi-etic

A poem wrote by a skilled Gaelic poet that describes the equation of Pi.

I see the transcendental equation, my perfect Pi-etic formula of perfections perception, let me clear the cathartic confetti off my mind, with a little graffiti painted with rhyme, I found within a pure souls schemes, beating at a constant 3.14, life back into my bloodstream, why was such an elegant absolute such as this given to humanity? Perhaps society needed a flawless form to awake from hates mass-memories. Reading a symbol as I laid wide asleep I feel awake, one thing better another numbered sweet flesh, gift of her eternal breath.

Pi Pyramidologist

One who numerologically believes that the value of the number π and a number of mathematical formulas are encoded in the structure of the Great Pyramid in Egypt—for example, the perimeter of the base of the Great Pyramid divided by twice its height supposedly gives the value 3.150685.

Pi pyramidologists restrict their attention to the Great Pyramid but ignore other Egyptian pyramids—if the heights and base dimensions of 22 true pyramids were used to calculate π, the value ranges from 2.58 to 4.42.

Beta Pi Chi

The most secrets society there is. One can’t even rush for this due to their selective picking. You are invited and if invited you must go to their first meeting to be initiated. That’s all I know due to not being in this sorority, but I know it’s an honor. Only the best are elected.

“Omg dude did you see the girl?”
“Ya bro!! She’s so hot!”
“Well duh bro she’s in Beta Pi Chi!”

Pi as Propaganda

When the number π is used to draw attention to herself through posters, banners, and graffiti in public places, because these oft-powerful images can influence or change people’s minds about the mathematical constant.

Unlike other noteworthy but struggling constants like e and 𝜙, π has continually succeeded to be part of popular culture, because she believes that “pi as propaganda” is an effective marketing tool to remain relevant in the minds of both math and nonmath people.
