Today is fake Pi day. Euler said pi is the ratio of a circle's radius to its diameter. Therefore Pi day is June 28th

I think you may have mixed up your terms. The ratio of a circle's radius to its diameter sounds like Jan. 2 to me!

Besides, I've already had pizza today. Do I need to do it again on June 28? ;)

Also, what about July 22nd for another Pi Day option?

If you want to consider July 22, please also consider the pairing of December 21 and April 23 (December 20/April 22 in leap years).

January 2 is downright hilarious. Thanks.
May the cards fall in your favor.

The fine gas station I just walked out of is selling large pizzas, cheese or pepperoni, for the expected special today only price, until 8pm (Eastern).

Very festive of them.

You are correct. I believe it was Euler that said the circumference is pi*radius. Someone decided to divide Pi in half and change the equation for the circumference to 2*Pi*radius. I will always celebrate it on June 28th as that is my daughters birthday.

Some of these I have never seen and are pretty amazing!

Does anyone know the proof to

π =(-1) * sqrt (-1) * log (-1) ?

or the proof to:

π = sqrt(6/ Πprimes p (1-1/p2))

I assume that's ln(-1), which is i * PI, since if x = ln(-1), then -1 = e^x = e^(i PI); -1 * i * (i PI) = PI.

Are you inferring that Elon Musk is my daughter? I will not deny it.

Ok according to Jeopardy pi is approximated to 3.14, but it's also approximated by this fraction
22/7
