I wonder whether any bakery or pizzeria plans to have a special sale on March 14, starting at 9:26 a.m., selling little pies for 54 cents each. And with that, it must be time to sign off for the day...

I'm either not geeky or not mathy enough to get this. all i get is the 3/14 part. clearly I need help.

(and I don't know whether it's geeky or mathy that I'm missing here. I suspect mathy, but I'm not sure)

Pi is 3.141592654 (rounded up)

see, I knew it was probably something so simple that I'd be embarrassed for asking. and I was right. Thank you. :)

elbee: Sorry, I was off most of yesterday. It's not "so simple"--I'm just one of those nerds who somehow accidentally memorized Pi to exactly that many decimal places a very long time ago, and since 3/14/15 happens this year, it just seemed natural. More likely, even damn near certain: Some places will sell pie--a slice or the whole thing--for $5.36 starting at 9:26 a.m., but it's possible nobody will be clever enough for that. (That's rounding to one more decimal place.)

I'd say it's geeky, not mathy; pi is just a constant and has almost nothing to do with math outside of geometry.

Joe was there first. This is not surprising.

hey, anyone who want to bring me pie for my birthday would be totally welcomed!

The little pies for 54 cents is still a great idea.
