I wonder if anyone in Google is wishing that they hadn't tried to adorably bid pi billion, and had instead played to win.

- orangecat 15y agoThis is a rather silly meme. Bidders were allowed to place more than one bid.
- pohl 15y agoWhat you're saying does not contradict the meme at all. The meme goes that Google first bid Brun's constant, then upped it to the Meissel–Mertens constant, and finally pi. That's more than one bid.
- orangecat 15y agoAnd then they continued bidding to over $4 billion. There's nothing to indicate that bidding non-round amounts changed the outcome.
