More Pii Day fun: Solving Pii

Here's a thought on taking the geek to a higher level on Pii Day.

On 3/14 we make a Pii. When we give a Pii to a glitch, they get prompted to "Solve Pii". The pie defaults to displaying 3.14. If the glitch types in the next correct number of Pii, they get a small IMG reward. The Pii remembers it's current solution.

The glitch may give the Pii to another glitch (each glitch may "solve" Pii only once per Pii) to solve the next number of Pii. That IMG reward is larger.

If a glitch solves uncorrectly, that Pii can no longer be solved.
If a glitch attempts to solve a Pii that they have already solved, the Pii can no longer be used for rewards.
If the Pii is dropped, that Pii can no longer be solved.
If a community of glitches gets organized, imagine the img of perhaps even badges that could be earned, once a year, for solving Pii to....

    Love it, and I'm no mathematician. I am however, a geek as well

  • Yes! This is an awesome idea. TS, please make this happen!

  • Great idea! And really doable, I personally think. TS can make items remember what they are, like the auto-hatch eggs, which even stay when moved around stacks.

    The Solve thing would bring up a pretty big rectangle popup, taking about 2/5 of the screen, with the picture of the Pi and the question thing.

    Only things, I don't think these following rules work:

    If a glitch solves uncorrectly, that Pii can no longer be solved.
    If the Pii is dropped, that Pii can no longer be solved.

    I think it should be that if it is solved uncorrectly, or dropped, it merely resets to 3.14, however you still cannot solve it if you have already solved it, as to not let people just spam one single pi and dropping it.

    There should be no limit to how many Pis you can solve in a game day or ever. Maybe users can have the Great Pi pass along.

    If you cannot solve it due to already having solved it, you should still get that popup and see where the progress is, only you cannot touch the problem.

  • United States Population Reaches Milestone
    Shortly after 2:29 p.m. EDT today, the U.S. population clock will reach a milestone that is very meaningful to mathematical statisticians: it will show there are 314,159,265 residents, or pi (3.14159265) times 100 million. Pi is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. “This is a once in many generations event...so go out and celebrate this American pi,” said Census Bureau Chief Demographer Howard Hogan.
