Practical Jokes was scheduled last night, but apparently didn't take. So consider it a 16 hour challenge. =/

A Speed Speed Challenge. Nice concept :)

The practical joke being that we miss the first 8 hours? : )

Oh well, all afternoon to figure out what trick to play on the missus when she gets home <evil laugh>

We can all take pictures of our monitors showing the challenge criteria and call it "This MUST Be A Joke."

This is a sad moment for me. Have no time for this challenge. I have submitted to every challenge since I joined (45 challenges). But not to this one. I wasn´t expecting this. It really is a sad moment!

Not sure if this will be particularly helpful in inspiring anyone for the challenge, but this is a pretty amusing list:

#8: Alabama Changes the Value of Pi

The April 1998 issue of the New Mexicans for Science and Reason newsletter contained an article claiming that the Alabama state legislature had voted to change the value of the mathematical constant pi from 3.14159 to the 'Biblical value' of 3.0. Before long the article had made its way onto the internet, and then it rapidly made its way around the world, forwarded by people in their email. It only became apparent how far the article had spread when the Alabama legislature began receiving hundreds of calls from people protesting the legislation. The original article, which was intended as a parody of legislative attempts to circumscribe the teaching of evolution, was written by a physicist named Mark Boslough.

I think my SCORES could be the practical joke. I'm hoping people readjust tomorrow and put "just kidding" in the comments. lol

They start as soon as the challenge is posted. That is, your photo cannot be taken before the challenge has been posted, even if it would meet the challenge. The goal is to come up with a new photo during the submission time period.

I was hoping that the Pi Challenge was a practical joke. LOL!
I guess no such luck. I predict lots of pies, circles and calculator buttons. I might sit this one out, unless I get some divine inspiration.

On the practical joke side, I think I have a good one. With the raw picture and extra rules in hand, I'm off to photoshop land. We'll see!

I don't think this one's as hard as it's been made out. Pi is a symbol with a shape. If we could find a 3 in a leaf or a 6 in a shell, we can find a pi shaped item, too. lol
