Pi Day!

Post by Malakai10 »

Hi everyone!

I just came up with a new idea! It was inspired by something that GracelynEquus said.

Does anyone know what is important about the fourteenth of March? If you don't, I shall tell you. The fourteenth of March is Pi-Day, the day that nerds (like myself and these guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTXTeAt2mpg) celebrate the wonders of that awful, irrational number.

The fourteenth of March is Pi-Day because, in the USA, the date, in numerical form is month/day/year, the fourteenth of March is written as 3/14/(insert year).

Onto why I am telling you this; I have decided that the first three people to show me a picture of a pie - that they baked - of any type will win a prize; IF the pie picture is shown to me by the 14th.

Of course, there are requirements. The pie must have the edible symbol of Pi on it (preferably icing) and you must use something reliable to show the date in the background, such as a newspaper with the date, the DAY, MONTH and YEAR must be clearly seen.

First Place: I train a horse of your choosing with price reduction by π

Second Place: I train a horse of your choosing with price reduction by 1/2 π

Third Place: I train a horse of your choosing with price reduction by 1/3 π

BONUS: If you also add on the first twelve numbers of π (must be made of edible material, preferably iced), I will train TWO horses. BOTH with the price reduction.

PLEASE read the first post on this topic: http://www.horseworldonline.net/forum/v ... f=8&t=7172

First Place (with bonus): GracelynEquus

Second Place:

Third Place:

Edit

Seeing as GracelynEquus was the only person to show me a picture of a pie with Pi, I have extended this to whenever I get a third pie picture shown to me.

I love Pi Day! I always bake at least four pies. Usually more. And I eat nothing but pie on that most wonderful of days. I might post a picture here for funsies, but I'll be at work that day, so it'll be really late.
