Yes, I'm shameless

Today is one of my favorite holidays.

No, not that one (mind out of the gutter, Bings!) though I heartily approve.

Today is Pi Day!

And with that in mind, what is this?

Lawn Party? I'm I allowed two guesses?

"Pi-act-a-lawn", or "Biathlon"?

And, in our wonderful, multicultural world, let us not forget "e", and all of the other mathematical constants.

Greg, you're allowed as many guesses as you want!

Jeff, Mathematical Constants: Is there anything they can't do?

I'm guessing my interpretation is off, hmmmmm?

Posted by: The_Real_JeffS at March 14, 2008 10:33 PM

Um, yeah.

doesn't e have something to do with natural logarithms ln or something. Also, isn't the derivative of e to the x = e to the x?

Two years of high end calculus and thats all I remember...stupid state school

That is correct on both counts, WK. Now, about the picture?

Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at March 15, 2008 11:48 AM

I thought e was the alter-ego of that flashy rapper mc²?

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at March 15, 2008 11:49 AM

Maybe e was and maybe e wasn't.

Are you channeling 'enry 'iggins?

And Greg, you were SOOOOOO close!

If only this were horseshoes or hand grenades...
