I was somewhat surprised to learn that besides Pi Day celebrated on the 14-th of March we have Pi Approximation Day celebrated today, on the 22-th of July.
Don't be surprised, both link lead to the same page.
I'm curious, whether it is possible to invent the day for another well-known approximation 355 / 113? Well... It could be the 113-th minute of the 355-th day of the year — something closer to astronomic time notation...
I sho?
Special challenge for Bredor:
Regard the endless decimal representation of Pi:
Surely, somewhere the pattern
228may be encountered among these digits. How much digits will it take to encounter this pattern for228times?what's so special about the number 228? or did u choose it randomly?
Have you examined Bredor's avatar closely?
This number has some deep connections with old Russian traditions
Please elaborate.
I'm afraid it was just a joke. Well, it is also the number of the first round in which Bredor participated here.
I think 227295.
Check again, probably it should be something like 228228.
Well, I already forgot the answer myself but it looks close. Though close answer, probably, could be found simply by probability counting ;-)
As far as all prefixes and all suffixes of 228 are distinct, it is quite obvious that expected value is 228*(10^3)=228000.
