So, here's the question.  Can that be proven true with anything physical and a tape measure?

When my son was in junior high he memorized pi to 193 places, and Pi Day became a family tradition.  We still observe it around here, though with less fanfare now that he's in grad school.

One Saturday morning in 2015 at the kids weekend basketball games at about ~9:37 AM we hollered “Happy Pi Day!”

I got to work this morning to find an oatmeal cream pie wrapped in cellophane with a "Happy Pi Day" sticker on it.

My wife had someone in her office who made a fuss over pi day. I made a pi cookie cutter and for several years she made pi cookies.

Gitcher hula hoop and a one foot ruler.  Measure the circumference.  Measure the diameter.  Divide.  Bet you don't get 3.1415926535987...............................

Be lucky to get 3.1.

  • You reversed a couple digits near the end of that.

I never tried to remember anything past 3.14159, ever.  All I did for my earlier post was to list off the number as written on the Archimedes' Bakery menu board in the OP.  I foolishly assumed they had it right.
