PI DAY 

March 14, aka National Pi Day – the one without an e – is fast approaching. 

Even if you can’t remember any digits beyond 3.14, again, we got you. As a quick (and extremely elementary) refresher of why this particular number is so dang famous – beyond what you will find below – here are the basics:

Simply stated, pi or π, is a ratio. It is the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter — meaning that the distance around the edge of a circle is a tad more than three times the distance across the circle.

The number is exceptional because it is necessary to calculate thousands of things we use every day. Here are just a few fun pi facts:

• Pi is a never-ending number and literally goes on for millions of digits past the decimal point.

• The Guinness World Record holder for reciting the most digits from memory is Rajveer Meena, who recited 70,000 digits in a little over nine hours.

• March 14 is also Albert Einstein’s birthday (1879). And in Princeton, New Jersey, where he lived for over 20 years, the town celebrates with an annual Einstein look-alike contest.

• Had no one ever calculated the ratio, circular shapes would still exist, but our world would look much different. As an example, all four of your car’s tires would be only roughly the same size.

• NASA uses a maximum of 15 digits in its calculations for sending spacecraft to other planets.

I know what you’re thinking — that’s all fine, but where’s the PIE? Read on for some stellar pie deals on March 14 and beyond.
