[edit] This is a poor mathgeek page
You have now been warned.
First some constants:
- pi = 3.14159265 | http://www.google.com/search?q=pi
- e = 2.71828183 | http://www.google.com/search?q=e
We can now compute the value of pi*e (pie)
- pie = 8.53973422 | http://www.google.com/search?q=pi*e
So now I propose a 'slice of pie'...
- Slice of pie be 1/pie = 0.117099663 | http://www.google.com/search?q=1/(pi*e)
- 8 slices of pie = 0.936797304 | http://www.google.com/search?q=8/(pi*e)
- What remains must be crumbs = 0.0632026956 | http://www.google.com/search?q=1-(8/(pi*e))
To make that a bit more english, you cut your pie into 8 slices but will probably lose about 6% of the overall pie quantity as crumbs.
I hereby propose that 'slice' and 'crumbs' be formally defined as such:
- slice
- (1/pie)
- crumbs
- (1-(8/slice)) - http://www.google.com/search?q=1-%288%2F%28pi*e%29%29
Also, wolfram alpha gives much more precision than google...
