# Math Major Wall Clocks The Pi Clock Tells Time Using Complicated Equations By Michael Hines | Published 2011-03-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pi-clock References: [walyou](http://walyou.com/pi-clock/) & [johngushue.typepad](http://johngushue.typepad.com/blog/2011/03/pi-clock.html) If you need a constant reminder of your inability to do math, then you're going to want to get a hold of the Pi Clock. The Pi Clock is a [wall clock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bc17) that tells time using Pi, the mathematical constant that has been known to infuriate and befuddle math students the world over. We have featured [math-inspired clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) on Trend Hunter before, but none of them were as advanced as the Pi Clock. For example: 11 o'clock has now become 11 Pi divided by 6. Good luck trying to figure that one out without a calculator or a math degree. The Pi Clock was designed by an as-of-yet unknown Flickr-user going by the name of Laughing Easy. The Pi Clock is getting tons of buzz around the Internet, so I wouldn't expect Laughing Easy to stay anonymous for long. It won't be long before every math class has its own Pi Clock. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Math-inspired Clocks:** Opportunity for creating more advanced and challenging math-inspired clocks that appeal to math enthusiasts or students. - **Unique Time-telling Methods:** Opportunity to innovate and create clocks that use unconventional methods to tell time, providing a unique and interesting user experience. - **Personalized Clock Designs:** Opportunity to design customized clocks that cater to specific interests or hobbies, such as math and equations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for companies in the home decor industry to create and sell math-inspired wall clocks for math enthusiasts or educational purposes. - **Gift and Novelty:** Opportunity for businesses in the gift and novelty industry to develop and market unique and quirky clocks for individuals who enjoy math or unconventional time-telling methods. - **Educational Supplies:** Opportunity for educational supplies companies to offer math-inspired clocks as learning tools for math classrooms or homeschooling environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Marble Cosmic Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobius-calendar-clock.md) - [Alternative Time Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dozen-clock.md) - [Linearly Formed Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-clock-concept.md) - [Concentric Timezone Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-wall-clock.md) - [Pixelated Flip-Style Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok.md) - [Literature-Displaying Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/author-clock.md) - [Venn Diagram Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetlag-clock.md) - [Kinetic Pattern Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moir-clock.md) - [Orbital Timepiece Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radius-clock.md)
