Google Celebrates Pi Day With This Cute Calculator Easter Egg

Happy Pi Day , fellow nerds ! The yearly jubilation of the mathematical unceasing π or pi , aka the ratio of a lot ’s circuit to its diameter ( and here I thought I ’d never get a prospect to use 9th - grade geometry in real life ! ) . It fall on March 14 because pi written out numerically is 3.14 … and then goes on forever because irrational numbers just roll that way .

In ceremonial of this pseudo - holiday , Google hid a nerdy small Easter orchis in Chrome ’s calculator . To pull it up , search for “ pi ” , “ pi day ” , or merely “ calculating machine ” in Google . You should see some stars scintillate around a principal investigator symbol in the upper lefthand corner . When you cluck it , it actuate a sort of “ Simon say ” secret plan , except with digit of private detective : The calculator briefly show you the first three digits of pi , and if you manage to come in all the digits aright then it does the same for the first four digit of pi , then the first five digit , and so on and so forth . We play around with it a bit , which you could see in the gif below .

The calculator even records your “ high-pitched scotch , ” which I conceive is pretty darn endearing , not going to dwell . Reminds me of ye olden CoolMath4Kids 24-hour interval .
