FYI -- ok, Fibonacci lovers, on what date did the US population hit phi ? http://www.boston.com/news/source/2012/08/us_population_h.html US population hits pi Posted by Angela Nelson, Boston.com Staff August 14, 2012 03:05 PM The US population clock hit a mathematically significant milestone on Tuesday - pi. The US Census Bureau estimated that the clock struck 314,159,265 residents just after 2:29 p.m. That figure is pi (3.14159265) times 100 million. Pi is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. The US Census Bureau's top demographer celebrated with a pun. “This is a once in many generations event...so go out and celebrate this American pi,” Howard Hogan said in a written statement.
