Countdown to π Day!

π Day is Coming! The clock has started counting down! You can't tell from the picture, but the arms on this clock are moving in the mathematically correct direction: counterclockwise.

Pictures like this always get me wondering.....

  • What π time is it?
  • How much longer do we have to wait (in hours and radians) until it's π (pie?) time?

Blogging Prompt

Look carefully at the picture. Make up an interesting question about it. Blog your question and follow up with your solution tomorrow. Let's see how many people in the class can answer your question! ;-)

Happy Blogging!

Hwow! π day is comming! How much longer do we have to wait until it's π (pie?) time? *Nah...* I'm not interested in that... What i am interested to know is how much longer do I have to wait until i can have the pie(specially apple pies)!
(^_^) Just kidding!

yes, just like what alexis posted.. how come there's no pi/4, 3pi/4, 5pi/4 and 7pi/4? and i was wondering if mr K. just edited an ordinary pic of a clock a and changed the numbers into radians... well... if i have a clock just like that in my room... it will be a tupsy-turvy town fer sure.

Here are the answers I got:

What pi time is it?
9pi/10 minutes, 13pi/30 seconds past the hour of 3pi/2

How much longer do we have to wait (in hours and radians) until it's pi (pie?) time?
2 hours, 32 minutes, 47 seconds or
pi/3 hours, 16pi/15 minutes, 47pi/30 seconds

Can you caome up with anymore questions and answers? ;-)
