Today is pi day. I presume it’s almost pi hour.

For those whose calculators don’t have a pi key, use 355/113.

That will be close enough.

Afternoon, Bob. DP and the youth will be having pie for pi day. I will get doses of bowel-clearing sludge :-(.

Or one could just memorize the returned value of 3.1416...without having to memorize 6 digits and an operation...as was SOP in pre-calculator days.

But then again I learned that in the olden times when trig tables were used on the job.

No batteries to worry about.
