I wonder what she’d have come up with if he’d used e instead of pi. 🙂
The number e (“Euler’s number”, 2.7182818284(etc)) is not a great choice for several reasons.
One, as written, and without context, e is a letter, not a number. Ï€ on the other hand has it’s own symbol, so while a bit of a cheap move on Ace’s part, he can argue that he did in fact write down a recognized number.
Second, anyone who’s been through high school knows what Ï€ is, but “Euler’s Number” is a lot more obscure. He’d probably have to explain what it is to her. This means he has to convince her he isn’t making it up.
Thirdly, drawing an e doesn’t sound the same as three short, straight lines in Ï€. A curved line takes a bit longer to draw properly. Also, most people draw an e with two strokes, not three (or even just one really; since you don’t have to lift the pen at any point).
That wouldn’t work with me, the moment I heard it squeak I’d stop and make a big sqiggle in the corner, before finishing the number (and probably spelling it out).
