Pi Day is celebrated annually on March 14 (Credit: Geralt/CCO/Flickr)

A holiday associated with a math constant may not seem very exciting. But Pi ("π") Day, observed annually in the US on March 14 (3/14), is an exception. That's because the celebrations may start with math activities centered around pi — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, widely recognized as 3.14. But they inevitably end with a slice or two of delicious pie!

        I think it helps to work at it in chunks. There are some parts where the numbers sort of follow a pattern.

                PI is very interesting. ( This is a late comment. ) I wish I can memorize at least 100 digits of PI. But that’s going to be very difficult for me. I’ve only memorized 3.1415. I’m not that good at memorizing PI. How much digits of PI did you memorize?

                  you can also refer to pi as 3.14

                        Pi day was a pain! At school, we had to do three worksheets on it, and it was so confusing! But my fam had pie for breakfast lunch and dinner, so I guess pi day wasn't THAT bad.😝

                              there isn't a lot of oil around because of the war in russia, so gas prices are increasing due to the lack of gasoline.
