Pi Day

Izzy's school celebrates Pi Moment, on this, Pi Day (3.14) People there think mathematical thoughts when it becomes 3.14 1:59:26.

I made a chess pie.

I'd be remiss if I didn't quote Izzy, who reminds us that, contrary to the pi-r-squared formula we learned in school, "Pie are round; cornbread are square."

    I overheard a conversation in passing yesterday at my school about the head of the Math department celebrating pi day. I didn't get the connection with 3/14, but now I know for next year.

    so I saw this online on friday and figured I would share. What is the volume of a Pizza with a radius of Z and A height of a? Ans: Pi*Z*Z*A ;-). Had a long day Friday and it made me smile form ear to ear for 10 mins at 8:00 pm after doing math all day long not realizing it was Pi day.
