Give the fine folks of service@woot.com your order number, name, and any other relevant information and they can probably help you out here.

Thanks!

Now may not be the best time to tell people pi is wrong.

Thank you. I sent mail. I am in the queue now.

What had me snarfled was there should be a double-ended arrow to indicate diameter. My old high school drafting teacher would have taken points off that drawing.

While I like the concept, I'm certain I'd get tired of explaining the shirt to everyone.

No. The numerator is "Circumference of pumpkin" and the denominator is "diameter of pumpkin." The pumpkins cancel out, leaving you with circumference divided by diameter, which does equal pie. How pie got reduced to a mere slice, however, is another matter...

I ate the rest. It was delicious.

I use small sugar or "pie" pumpkins to make pie... You must be using butternut squash... Stop that.

You only get one shot at any given product. You may only order once, with up to 3 of the product on that order. If you hit "I want one" instead of "I want 2 or 3" - you are hosed unless the fine folks who check the service@woot.com messages can fanangle you another one (sometimes they can, sometimes - the item sells out too soon for that). Either way, shoot them a message and see what they can do.

Does anyone else find it odd that the staff are advising people to break the woot rules by creating a separate account to dual order? I mean, a lot of people have done it and I know woot looked the other way, but now they are telling us to break their rules... It's interesting.

Very good indeed! I like this idea a lot!

I like the colors. However, I must be dense because I don't get it.

This is a cute shirt and my father loves pumpkin pie. But I'll pass because it is way too geeky for him.

It's too bad we can't have a plain shirt with just the pumpkin pie slice on it. Then again, that's just too simple, we can't stop ourselves from trying to be clever.

Here is a suggestion for shirt.woot, lets have some derbies where the designs have to be simple. No math, no Sci-Fi references, no video game references, just some cool every day shirts...

JUST SOME PLAIN EVERY DAY GOOD, FUN SHIRTS!!!

Graphical math standards and drafting standards are two different things.

When dimensioning a scalable entity for a drawing, leader "ticks" are required simply to indicate the beginning and end of the distance being noted...often with arrows, but also commonly slashes or less commonly with dots.

Mathematically, arrows generally indicate continuation presumably (Euclidean anyways) into infinity...arrows on each end being a line rather than a line segment or an arrow on one end being a ray. Occasionally, arrows are used in depictions of radius and/or diameter, but I have never understood this practice.

Since there is no numerical or variable along the "string", it is hard to argue that the intent is a dimension rather than a mathematical "un-arrowed" line segment.

Pumpkins are more round at the equator that the meridian. The circle should be drawn around the equator. I'm just sayin.

The Latin name for the Greek letter is pronounced "pee". The math constant and traditional English pronunciation of the Greek letter is pronounced "pie".

So, since we're in the US and, somewhat, speak English. I'm going with "pie" and I think it's a cool shirt

Umm, yes. aeson25 did not say pie cancelled, he said the "pumpkin" in both the numerator and the denominator cancel, just as "of pumpkin" cancel out in your version of the expression. So you basically "corrected" him by saying the same thing.

Don't explain, just nod condescendingly.

Let's just go ahead and rename this place to nerd.woot.com.

kthx!

No need. We all know.

Sadly, math is not genetic but must be learned anew by each generation.

ratbert2k wrote:Sure. But this is a slice of pie. The right answer has to be a whole pie.

when, in all of your math years, have you ever written down "the whole pie"?

I believe it's pumpkin circumference over diameter, not pumpkin circumference over pumpkin diameter, otherwise you end up with some sort miscellaneous formation of pie.

aeson25 wrote:Technically, wouldn't (Pumpkin circumference)/ (Pumpkin diameter) result in a unitless number pi since "pumpkin" is in the numerator and denominator and thus cancelling out?

This implies pumpkin is a variable and not a unit in the first place and that pumpkin=1

thatrobert wrote:Thanks Woot for printing yet another Pi shirt of mine. I need to find some other mathematical constants...

Here's a concept for you...Avagadro's number + hole in the ground. And go.

Congrats on a great shirt and the print!

circumference=2(radius)(pi)
2(radius)=diameter
circumference/diameter=pi
US school system fail

More Cool Whip please!

Here's a little pop quiz I use to see if people were paying attention in geometry class:

If the numerical value of the circumference of the pie is the same as its area, what is its diameter?

That'd be a golf shirt...

What's up with the permalink and the spot where the shirt should be in the "Bystanders" box? The permalink takes me to the front page and the thumbnail in the Bystanders box is the same as Monday's (random shirt day, clicking it doesn't take you anywhere).

Right, hopefully Woot will sort that out soon.

(congrats TR!)

How do I order this shirt? Missed it yesterday.
Thanks

My wife's a high school math teacher so I asked her to explain it o me.....she laughed out loud and said she wanted one. Thanks woot you have made my wife very happy

We're sorted! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Not quite. The permalink is still going to today's shirt...

When you click on the actual word that says "permalink"? For me that goes to today's shirt...
