Awesome! Happy Pi Day!!

I love this!

Envious of my sister for having her birthday on pi day (for the mathematically curious, that would be 16 years and 2 days apart from mine, the date of which falls two days earlier, and not the result of 48 hours of labor for our mother).  I also have a pi day grandnephew.  That's just how the dice landed.

To inject the proper amount of irony, I presented her with a birthday cake.

It's only pi day in the US; the rest of us don't have 14 months. 

Still brilliant.

I had Strawberry Creme Pie.

Love that, Mixxi.

And here is my boy, at age 11, reciting 100 digits of pi while solving a rubix cube.  And then showing off some designs.

Yeah.  I don't know where these genes come from, but he's pretty awesome and amazing

Hot dog.  That's impressive.  Genes or not, he's fortunate he's had a wonderful parent standing by to give him a few pointers along the way.  Or a hundred.

That's fabulous, Lyrima.
Congratulations to him.

Thanks!

I meant to say above that he's now 14.

He spent the better part of his 10th year learning the 100 digits of pi.  For Christmas, I gave him a white board, which we hung on the wall next to his bed.  He wrote out the 100 digits of pi and spent every night memorizing a few more.

A few years before that and after, he was a rubix hound.  He went online and learned the algorithm for solving the first cube then went on to learn a whole bunch of other ones.  Then he learned how to make the designs.  He spent his days practicing and figuring it out.  Even taught his sister how to do it, but I could never remember all the steps.

Anyway.  He absolutely HATES getting up in front of people for any reason, let alone this one.  He absolutely refuses to do it again.  It's my only video of him doing it, so I'm glad to have it recorded here, should I ever need it

Btw, this video was recorded at my school where he showed them all on PI day.  There was total silence while he did it then the longest applause I've ever heard when he finished.  I guess he has a sense of flair, because he is a hero at the school.  Especially since he Will. Not. Do. It. Again.

That's awesome, Lyrima.
