I looked at the clock and it was pi! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and you know.. ..normally, clocks are circles! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now, THAT's one for the history books! |

You must have a very precise clock. |

It's a funny joke because it lacks any sober logic or meaning. |

Oh wait, I think I understand now since I accidently spent time thinking about it, but there is still the matters of 1) pi having a decimal place, not a colon 2) the inability to accurately measure an infinite string of numbers That one homestar runner where he gave someone's halloween costume last place then someone else worst place was great. |

it had a colonectomy |

I was actually talking about pi in a paper I wrote yesterday. I'm no mathematician, so perhaps I didn't understand the finer points of it, but I got the impression from Melfi and Dodge's paper "Random Number Generators and Rare Events in the continued Fraction of Pi" that they had proven Pi's decimal places were random. I did wonder how exactly they could do this, as surely they could only prove the first n numbers were? If you can say they all are based on this, why can't you make the same sweeping generalisations about prime or weird numbers (both have properties we have proven up to a point, but as you say, how can we say that's true for all of them?) |

they invented some fancy workaround because having to prove stuff that's infinite became tiresome or something. |
||||||||

my clock is stopped and showess the rite time twice a day |

How come you can't do this for higher (undiscovered) primes and weird numbers? I always see he clause "...up to x.xx X 10^y" tacked onto the end of statements made regarding them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they haven't figured out the workaround for them yet I guess I'll ask a friend who does maths. |
||||||||

|
well, i looked at my watch and i saw phi! that means i'm smarter. |

that will depend on whether you use radians or not |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As a ratio, it can cope with the irrational pi. {ugh... can't believe I even commented on this} |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
, apparently. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I will apparently be receiving an oral presentation of the subject the next time we get drunk so I may be able to give you some random broken sentences about it if that article doesn't make sense. |
