14 March 2008 - 15:38The 3rd of Twelvember

The only day of the year that I’m even remotely interested in backwards counter-intuitive date counting such as what the American do. 14/3 is of course π day.

    Oh good, an opportunity to be silly by numbers!
    Since a year is a cycle, it should be divisible by π, and its radius calculated.

    So, if we correlate 365 days to 360 degrees, 365/2/π = 58.09 days, which puts the radius at about February 12. Double that to find the diameter of the year: April 17.

    Care to represent that graphically? Jan 1 and April 17 should be opposite points on a circle. Erm.
