Pi Day Themed Happy Hour

UPDATE!  We had to change the start time due to a power surge at MIT knocking out all of our servers.  Happy hours today are now from 4:45-6:45 pm EST!

In honor of the epic pi day HQ will be having a epic pi themed happy hour.  So get out your bibs  and pie forks (assuming you’re not some heathen who just uses any old cake fork to eat pie) – we’re starting at 4:45 pm EST and going until 6:45 pm EST on this nerdiest of all pastry days.

 

Any player who scores over 1000 points will receive a bonus of 1706 points.

Any player who scores over 2000 points will receive a bonus of 2006 points.

Any player who scores over 3141 points will receive a bonus of 3141 points..

 

If you know why each of the point platforms are receiving those specific bonus points email HQ.  The first player who emails support@eyewire.org and tells us why we chose those point values will get 1000 points for each platform they’re correct about.  (So if you know why we chose 1706 but not 2006, you get 1000 points but if you know why we chose 1706 AND 2006 you get 2000 points).  It’s first come first serve!  We’ll post the results as we get them.

1000 points to Nseraf who figured out why we’re giving 3141 points to the people who score 3141 points or more, because π starts with 3.141!

Another 1000 points to Nseraf who figured out why we’re giving 1706 points to players who score over 1000 points.  In 1706, the symbol for pi was introduced by British mathematician William Jones.
