Readers, please listen to the video while reading this chapter, or you may not get what's going on!!!! And even though it's a little late, happy Pi Day!!!!!!
Leo has updated his status:
Leo: HAPPY PI DAY!
Percy: pie day?
April: no, dummy, Pi, 3.14? Haven't you heard the song?
Annabeth: oh, I've heard that song!
(Jason, Thalia, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Will, Nico, and Reyna all like this)
Percy has logged off to watch the video link that April sent him
~10 min. Later~
Percy has updated his status:
A long, long time ago, long before the super bowl, and things like lemonade...
April: I like where this is going.
Annabeth: The Hellenic Republic was full of smarts, and a question resting on the Grecian hearts was what is the circumference of a circle...
Jason: But they were set on rational numbers, it ranks as one of their biggest blunders, They worked on it for years...
Thalia: And confirmed one of their biggest fears...
April: I can't be certain if they cried when irrationality was realized, something deep within them died the day... they discovered... Pi! They were thinkin'
Reyna: Pi, Pi, Mathematical Pi, 3.141592
Piper: 6535897,
Hazel: 93238462,
Frank: 64338327 (not rounded)
Will: well, this kind of pi is different than most, it hasn't got berries, it ain't spread on toast, and that's how it's always been,
Nico: we keep extending its decimal places, pushing our computers through their paces, but we'll never reach the end,
Reyna: so why the fascination with, a number whose end is just a myth??? It might have something to do with the stars, to calculate distances from afar, but that's just a guess about the way things are, regarding the precision of Pi!
Percy: I am pondering Pi, Pi, Mathematical Pi, 3.141592
Leo: 6535897,
Annabeth: 93238462,
April: 64338327,
Zeus: Now I feel that I should mention, Pi is applicable in any dimension, at least as far as I know,
Jason: if there were no Pi we'd be missing things, like marbles and mugs and balls of string,
Thalia: and sports, such as soccer and curling!
Piper: the orbs in their celestial paths, navigate along elliptical graphs, ellipses have Pi in them too!
Rachel: just one side of them has grew! You can see Pi in most everything, It's in Cornell's Electron Storage Ring,
Drew: And also in slinkies and other springs, and that's why, it's important, to know Pi!
April: you should memorize Pi, Pi, Mathematical Pi,
Connor: 3.141592
Travis: 6535897,
Octavian: 93238462,
Will: 64338327,
Leo: once one night, I had a dream, That Pi was gone and I had to scream,
April: cause all Pi things had disappeared,
Annabeth: Can you imagine a world like that, circles aren't round and spheres are flat,
Percy: it's the culmination of everything we've feared,
Thalia: Twas a nightmare of epic proportions, one that gave me brain contortions, oh wait, I mean contusions, they put me in some institutions, but I escaped and now I'm free, to sing of, the virtues, of Pi!
Jason: Pi, Pi, Mathematical Pi, 3.14159265358979323846264338327,
Leo: *jazz hands* OH yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!
