Google's ingenuity almost turned into a tragedy


You, probably, already know that inventive people work in Google. And that only they do not. For example, in the Mountain View technology park, buildings were numbered starting from zero. This time, their ingenuity almost turned into a tragedy.

The operator is “911. How can I help?"
Google - “Here is a fire. At Google Development Labs on 1501 Salado Drive. Our server room caught fire. ”
Operator - “We can immediately send a fire truck. What is the house number? ”
Google - “House number PI”

Operator - “I beg your pardon, what is the number?”
Google - “PI. Greek letter, which is still used in calculating the area of ​​a circle ”
Operator - “Yes. I remember it from the geometry course. ”
Google - “Please hurry, the smoke quickly spreads”
Operator - “Sorry, please, but our software does not allow to enter the letter PI instead of the house number. Can you give me the exact house number ”
Google - “3.14 ″
Operator - “Are you sure this is the correct number? Is it near the restaurant? ”
Google - “Try 22/7 ″
Operator - “Our software does not allow to enter fractions”

A fire truck was sent to the area, making a couple of laps around the park, the building was found.
