Becoming Pi?

Question

If I wanted to dress up as Pi for Halloween, how would I do it? I was thinking of covering myself with all fifty numbers, but how could I jazz it up a bit? Thanks XD

Answer 1

Wear a sandwich sign with a big number on it, and go trick-or-treating with an infinite number of friends. You could be the first "5" in 3.1415926...

:-)

In a similarly silly vein, wear a sign that says "A / R", and make the font for the A really round and the R deliberately square-looking. For a circle, A (area) over R (radius) squared is pi.

Wear lots of shaving cream as faux whipped cream -- pi is always better with whipped cream.

Here are some fun and interesting facts about Pi that may give you some ideas.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Pi is the number of times a circle's diameter will fit around its circumference.

2) Most people would say that a circle has no corners, but it is more accurate to say that it has an infinite number of corners.

3) The sequence of digits in Pi so far passed all known tests for randomness.

4) Here are the first 100 decimal places of Pi

3.1415926535897932384626433
8327950288419716939937510
5820974944592307816406286
2089986280348253421170679

5) The fraction (22 / 7) is a well used number for Pi. It is accurate to 0.04025%.

6) Another fraction used as an approximation to Pi is (355 / 113) which is accurate to 0.00000849%

7) A more accurate fraction of Pi is(104348 / 33215). This is accurate to 0.00000001056%.

8) Pi occurs in hundreds of equations in many sciences including those describing the DNA double helix, a rainbow, ripples spreading from where a raindrop fell into water, superstrings, general relativity, normal distribution, distribution of primes, geometry problems, waves, navigation....

9) There is no zero in the first 31 digits of Pi.

10) Pi is irrational. An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed in the form (a / b) where a and b are integers.

11) It is not known if Pi is normal. No one has proved that Pi isn't normal, so people generally assume that it is.

12) Pi is a transcendental number. (Transcendental means= Not capable of being determined by any combination of a finite number of equations with rational integral coefficients.)

13)In 1991, the Chudnovsky brothers in New York, using their computer, m zero, calculated pi to two billion two hundred sixty million three hundred twenty one thousand three hundred sixty three digits (2, 260, 321, 363). They halted the program that summer.

14) The Babylonians found the first known value for Pi in around 2000BC -They used (25/8).

15) The Bible uses a value of Pi of 3. Here is a verse from I Kings 7,23: And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it about.

16) The first person to use the Greek letter Piwas Welshman William Jones in 1706. He used it as an abbreviation for the periphery of a circle with unit diameter. Euler adopted the symbol and it quickly became a standard notation.

17) The old memory champion was Hideaki Tomoyori, born Sep. 30, 1932. In Yokohama, Japan, Hideaki recited pi from memoryto 40,000 places in 17 hrs. 21 min. including breaks totaling 4 hrs. 15min. on 9-10 of March in 1987 at the Tsukuba University Club House.

18) The Pi memory champion is Hiroyoki Gotu, who memorised an amasing 42,000 digits.

19) The area of a circle is Pi*r2. 19a) The circumference is Pi*d

20) Pi is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet.

21) Definition of Pi- A transcendental number, approximately 3.14159, represented by the symbol 3, that expresses the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle and appears as a constant in many mathematical expressions.

22) Satan doesn't appear in Pi too quickly, the first time 666 appears is at position 2440.

Answer 3

what do you mean all fifty numbers? Pi is neverending.

i would make a large Pi sign out of cardboard and wear it around. I was a lego and a hockeypuck in 3rd and 4th grade by the same method.

Answer 4

I would start at the top of the outfit with a very large 3.14 then have it wrap around and around getting smaller and smaller til it was illegible at the bottom of the costume.

Answer 5

go as a steak n kidney pie, it's easier
