Happy Pi day!
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

I'm pretty sure Trippy is one word, just like Legendary.

Re: Happy Pi Day!
Everything is so busy these days - and yet here I am procrastinating on here. Given up on the maths, I'm afraid! Yes, shame on me 
I studied further Maths, Biology and Chemistry and now I'm doing my second year of Biomedical Sciences at University. There are so many assignments and reading to catch up on; at the moment I'm applying for an internship in a lab/hospital for a possible placement year; I'm taking my driving theory test soon; my part-time job may as well be full time because they keep scheduling me in lots D: Oh well, I'm sure I'll get through somehow 
I was experimenting with mouldy food today, and last week I took a swab out my nose to see if I had Staphylococcus Aureus in it - about 40% of people do. It's a lot of fun and I'm really enjoying it!

Re: Happy Pi Day!
Hi MIF;
That just reminded me that I was reading that 3.14..... was incorrect. It should be 3.13.... If that were true than we are late.
