The power of pi

Base 23:

Indeed. Yes, children, today was filled with pi-ness. In TOK we watched part of the movie Pi. It's quite interesting so far. In math, after completing another packet from hell (this was from a lesser hell, though) the juniors gathered together and wrote pi on the board. There was also an attempt to write it in binary, but this yielded unsatisfactory results.

Other than that, there was the joy of talking to Alex during lunch (and the desecration of Noam Chomsky), stealing Corey's calculator, eating the starburst graciously provided by Eric, and attending my first art club meeting this year. Hoorah.

Down with Mathematica! for it is hella expensive and does not go above base 36. For shame.
