Honesty Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hello! I enjoy Maths and understand the Pi theory. It's an infinite number, right? It goes on and on and on after the decimal place. However, it's theoretical value is..3.14 I think. So thereforee smaller than 4..however it goes on forever. Har, I am of course being an over analytical female. I asked my ex/person I'm re-connecting with as of late on a scale of 1-10 how much he missed me..yes, I was drunk and sending drunken emails! Always fun. He responded back yesterday saying "I miss you by Pi.xxxYou're the maths genius you work that out!x" Clearly I am not as I cannot! What would you think? Thanks! Link to comment
sff123 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 on scale of 1 to 10 pi isnt very high but it's higher than 1. im assuming it was just a joke whether he meant it to be a friendly one or a negative one Link to comment
Honesty Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 He's probably done what he intended to and made me over think it. I just need to think of an even more bafflin mathematical equation/analogy! Link to comment
sff123 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 tell him you wish he was a derivative so he could be tangent to your curves Link to comment
kaoticbaby Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 i think that the answer is { , } or ∅ Link to comment
Honesty Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 KAOTICBABY thankyou for introducing more confusion to the mix! Link to comment
kaoticbaby Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 KAOTICBABY thankyou for introducing more confusion to the mix! lol... the empty bracket and ∅ symbol just mean there is no real answer, don't stress over dumb things that your ex says while he's drunk. Link to comment
Honesty Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 He wasn't the drunk one! I'm not stressing..just wondering. It's what makes it all fun! Link to comment
arwen Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 You asked for a degree on a scale, and what he answered literally based on that scale wouldn't be so high on that given scale. However, if he meant 'something between 3 and 4 on a scale of 1-10' he wouldn't use pi to express that. Maybe the fact that there is no end to the digits following 3.14... and that uptil now there is no good formula to predict the numbers... he means that it is impossible to say exactly how much he misses you. Or maybe missing you goes in circles. Or maybe he misses you infinitely and your answer is ∞ ∞ Link to comment
Honesty Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Haha! Thanks Arwen, great post. I think there is a very valuable under lying point to your post.. It's a "He only knows" point. !!!! Great times! Thankyou for your time Link to comment

It's a transcendental number, which also makes it an irrational number. Perhaps he thinks you're both of those! Or a more negative interpretation is that it does not exist in practice, only in theory. But I'm sure he didn't mean that, since mathematicians don't normally think of it in those terms. Go with transcendental. And tell him you miss him by e (the exponential number, also transcendental), just to confirm your geekdom. Link to comment
dqueen Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 darn...I never knew Maths could be so romantic! now I wish I had paid more attention in class. i think he was just being silly and didn't mean that he misses you between the scale of 3 to 4. he was only trying to sound cute and showing off his math geekery to you.

Yeah, I agree. I think he was just being goofy. Link to comment
BeStrongBeHappy Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well, if you're being practical, missing you by pi isn't missing you much. Even if you get an infinite number of decimal places after the 3, it is still only missing you 3 out of 10 on a one to 10 scale, which is not much! Link to comment
yeawutever Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Used to be very good at math, unfortunately my skills now are closed to null, LOL. pi is an indefinate number so he meant that he misses you a whole lot that there's no limit to it. Link to comment
mr_iwi Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 He could miss you so much it seems irrational to him. Link to comment
Honesty Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Of course there are many possible answers.. Only he knows the real one and he has probably succeeded in just trying to wind me up. Good getting opinions though Thanks Link to comment
