EXTRA CREDIT ESSAY QUESTION: create a mathematical system in Base pi. How would the development of such a system in the year 2000 BC have affected the development of science and technology? Explain.
If I understand the extra credit question correctly then an example would be where a 40 year old man(base 10) would equal 12.56 years old in base pi.

If that were the case then it would have taken eons for the Olsen twins to reach 18

To prove that I'm only one in a line of geeks, I'll admit that that is my father's favorite equation.

As a result, he's been transported to Australia.

Merry Christmas, all.

p.s. 3.141592653589793 (no mnemonic for that)
2.71828459045 (there's a mnemonic for that one)
Drives the ladies wild.
