That's a matter of fact !

Could have been Pi day.
So why was 3.14 chosen as Pi day?
Its not even a precise definition of Pi.
|
|
|
|
|
It is at 16:00
3.14 16 is closer than 3.14 28

22/7 isn't Pi either... it's less Pi than 3.14.

Taken to 5 dp's ...
Pi = 3.14159
22/7 = 3.14286 (+.00127)
Pi day = 3.14000 (-.00159)
So, yes, it should be 22/7 by a whisker. (Added to which the UK date format is better than the American one!)
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

It's ISO format: it started in year 0, so it's 0000 03.14 16:00

Just seen an advert in the paper which said:
ACCOUNTANT NEEDED
£35,000 - £40,000
So I rung then and said the answer is -£5,000

With those math skills, I'm sure you'll get the job. Only question is: Can you afford paying them £5000 at the end of each month?
[EDIT] Whoops each year, I guess it should be. Otherwise it's one hell of a salary! [/EDIT]

You work for a celery?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Of course the actual accountant's answer is 'how much do you want it to be?'

Yep, fairly obvious trick question in that ad. 5000 is the answer that will filter out the wannabes like OP.

I chuckled, then chuckled some more.
|
|
|
|
|
I assume you are still chuckling?
|
|
|
|
|
No, I finished chuckling the second I hit the post message button.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh alright, that was disappointing.
|
|
|
|

Now, I am chuckling again.

Well, after weeks of careful negotiation with our local IT department, our machines were hijack-updated last night to Win10 by the governing authority. I'm now sitting here, UNABLE TO WORK AT ALL because none of my dev tools are installed.

There is a silver lining to everything if you look hard enough!
