Inspired by this. It took a long time. I think I'm going to hang it on my wall.

This is what it looks like:

It's a 1.5 pt. font, which is at about the limit of visibility.

And unknown to all of mankind, pi equals out to the shade of gray.

Pfft noob, I printed the first 10 million characters a while back. Not on one piece of paper though.

Using a 12 pt font, that would take around 3,000 pieces of paper. Please say you didn't waste 3,000 pieces of paper printing out pi.

Incidentally, I could have done it in 30 sheets. But that would still be a lot of black ink.

Where can I host the file? It's too big to be attached here; compression doesn't really work all that well on strings of random numbers.

It was with a 2 pt. font, printed all the way to the edges of the paper. It ate up a few pieces of paper.

2005-09-07, 1:59 PM #19
I like the idea. But I would add on something: print small different colored numbers that form an image.
2005-09-07, 2:04 PM #20
Thats actually pretty stupid.

Wow. As soon as I see 'infinity' in there, I know it's beyond my brain power. :S

I'm happy with the good old "3.14".

I feel like I was just commenting in another thread about the crazy things people here do when they're bored, and now this thread pops up.

Yes. Change the colors of various numbers to form a pie! Brilliant! GENIUS!

Sorry about the pop ups, it's a cheap site from long long ago and I needed something fast that could host a .htm file.

-Did you know the forums won't upload .htm files? What the heck?

Actually, I usually go as far as 3.1415926535, though I often mix up the last four digits of even THAT.

Actually, if you look at it from a distance, it's a lattice-covered cherry pie. Mmm...
