I know you’re asking why?
especially on my plate.
I’ll give it another try.
sorry, didn’t mean to make you squirm.
it’s represented by a Greek letter.
so, it won’t keep you wanting!
for measuring stuff.
to wrap around a certain shape.
no need for a measuring tape.
because it’s a ratio, surprise!
since we round it to two decimals?
that’s quite a feat!
I know that sounds laughable.
Unlike this poem, my friends!

I hope you can enjoy a slice of pie while watching today’s videos on PI!

It wasn't until I watched a popular quiz show last night that I realized why the day is known as PI day. PI = 3.14 which in date format is 14th March. Simple really!
Here is a reward to celebrate your new found knowledge!

Now I could use a piece of pie :)
@appent got the last slice of apple pie and cup of coffee. So, here is whole blueberry pie for you and family!

Wow, it looks delicious :) A spoonful of whipped cream, and voila :)
Your poems always made me smile.
National PI day. Didn't expect this. PI sounds complicated. We haven't found the value of PI but it is used in calculations? Kinda confused. Me and maths didn't get along but I want to be it's friend.
The first video is funny although confusing a bit.
While it is true that we don’t have an exact number for PI, it is generally used in math as 3.14. Peter Trueb, a particle physicist has verified 22.4 trillion digits of Pi. Pi is infinite, so these digits are behind the 3.14.
If math is not really your thing just enjoy regular pie!
Trillion??? How did he get to that number? I like maths but maths just doesn't like me.
I do enjoy a good pie. But I always eat it alone. My wife hates it. It doesn't sit well in here stomach
Yes, trillion! He had a computer calculate out that far. I wonder how long it took the computer to do that.
Depending on when that was, all I can say is he had to have had a lot of patience.
haha !!! National PI day
