Pie

[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... http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=100*((8/(pi*e))/8)
