The pi is a lie… Happy Half Tau Day!
Tell that to my 12-year old nephew who memorized π to 128 decimal places in celebration of today! He'll be heart-broken to find out he memorized an inconsequential number.

I memorized π to about 180 decimal places at age 9, but I supported the switch to τ when I read about it, and I have no regrets.

He should have memorized π in binary then.
