Not neccesarily the math, just the fact that now suddenly pastry desserts have numerical value.

Ow.

It did it again.

Only sort of PIe I ever liked was the kind that has the chocolate pudding inside. Mmmm. That trigonometry sort leaves a bad aftertaste, though.

I hereby declare this thread to be heresy. e is our eternal enemy. e is anathema. Anyone who worships e will be strung by the testes.

Furthermore you are wrong, since pi * e equals 8.539 734 222 677 128 583...

Behold ! I have the power of nitpicking !

You know what I got out of that article on e?

Ah, but your premise is faulty, because PyroSkank originally posted "Okay, if 'pi'+'e'='pie', then what is the numerical value of pie?". Therefore, in this case the variable "pie" represents pi + e, despite the fact that at first blush it looks as if it is written as pi * e. It's merely a case of a confusing variable, rather than a mistake on the parts of FlamingDeath and ShouldBeWorking. Perhaps it would have been clearer if he had stated the variable name as "Fred" or some such, but the fact remains that you interpereted the problem incorrectly, Franc.

How's *that* for nitpicking? =)

Franc28 · Post by **Franc28** » Mon Mar 18, 2002 7:21 am

Converting "pie" to "pi"+"e" is programming, not mathematics. It is a confusion of levels, and your say-so doesn't change that ! HAH !

*bops Pharaoh Mobius*

FlamingDeth. No 'e'! Speeling it with said 'e' is wrong and evil and such! There is a story behind the spelling, but I won't go into it now...

As for pie, we all said approximately, so that is where all your nitpicking fails. Besides, you can't eat a pifred!

Pharaoh Mobius · Post by **Pharaoh Mobius** » Mon Mar 18, 2002 11:52 am

But it wouldn't be a "pifred". I'm stating that "pie" is a variable unto itself representing pi+e. If you insist on the "pi" component of "pie" representing the number pi, and the "e" component of "pie" representing the number e, then Franc is correct because you are writing the term pi*e, rather than pi+e.
Don't mince words with a semiotician, bucko. =)

Returning on the subject of moths... I bet it would suck if I was an airsick moth.

Nell · Post by **Nell** » Mon Mar 18, 2002 9:33 pm

I was wondering when moths were going to pop back into this conversation. Yeah, that would suck, being an airsick moth, I mean.

I wonder what a wingless moth would look like?

ShouldBeWorking · Post by **ShouldBeWorking** » Mon Mar 18, 2002 9:34 pm

he asked that if pi+e=pie, what was the numerical value of pie...

using ALGEBRA, i first saw that the + indicated i was to ADD....
secondly, i knew that pi=3.14 and that e= (1+1/n)^n, where the closer n is to infinity then the more true the value of e becomes,and that the most accepted and used value for e is e^1 which = (approx.) 2.71....

SO 3.14 + 2.71 = 5.85
(remember tho that these are rounded down numbers/whatever)
