4357 - Happy Pi Day
Well, here we are again. 3-14 (2019) I was looking for some interesting pi stuff and came across pi paper chains. From an article...
"Northwest Early College High School
World Record Holders of the Longest Paper Pi Chain
On March 14th, 2016 students and faculty members worked together to create the longest paper Pi Chain in the world! It took from 9 am to 4 pm to create chains that amounted to 77,000 links, and from 4 to 7:30 to finish arranging all chains in the correct order. This project was led by our school's precalculus students."
77,000 links in 7 hours is a lot of cut and pasting. And the problem with trying to look up pi paper chain records is there are so many different variations by time, length, number of participants and variations of all three variables. But the one above seems to be the longest.
I'm not sure if the above chain is accurate so I think I'll go check it out. I'll need some help. I'll call out numbers and you can verify the links. You can't step on any links so be careful.

I'm sitting here waiting for you to call them out, so I can verify with you. I care about the integrity of your post...
