When Izaak Grows Up

Izaak - Mom, when I grow up, I'm gonna buy two restaurants so I can be rich.
Me - That sounds like a good idea...
Izaak - I'll buy McDonald's and Dairy Queen. Yeah, I won't eat at McDonald's because it's gross but a lot of people eat there and the chicken nuggets are like H-E-double hockey sticks.
Me - Uh...
Izaak - I like Dairy Queen hot dogs though.
Me - ...and ice cream!
Izaak - Well, of course the ice cream! Duh!
Me - Yeah, duh!
Izaak - Then when enough people eat at my restaurants and I'm rich, my job is gonna be Lego Builder.
Me - Dude, that sounds like the perfect job for you.
Izaak - You know what I'm gonna buy with all my money?
Me - Legos!
Izaak - Well, yeah Legos... but, I'm gonna get a super powered microscope so I can see sub atomic particles!
Me - Awesome!

Pi Poster

Izaak ~ Mom, you know that poster of Pi that I have at Dad's house?

Me ~ Yeah.

Izaak ~ We counted all of the of the digits on it, one at a time, and it took us THREE DAYS!

Me ~ Wha... Whoa!

Izaak ~ [Laughs] No we didn't!! I tricked you mom! I just used multiplication to figure it out.

Me ~ Ha ha ha... very funny Izaak.

Izaak ~ Yeah, I just counted up the rows and columns and multiplied them. There were 100 rows. I had to add 99 to my answer because in the first row, the decimal point took up one space. Yeah, I added 99 to make up for that.

Me ~ Dude, that's awesome. What was the answer?

Izaak ~ 27,299!

62 Digits of π!
