3.14 Pi Day! 🥧🥟

[Breanna]

It's March 14th which means it's a silly little day for the nerds and bakers alike to come together and eat pie! 

So guys I'm really just not good at math, but we all recognize π right?

Pi has been calculated to over 50 trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. 

The unofficial world record for memorizing the digits currently stands at 100,000 which took over 16 hours...

What's your favourite pie to bake or eat? I think mine might be wild blackberry with many a summer spent collecting bucketfuls from the woods. No warm memories of algebra class to share though...

@Breanna 

No good with Pi...but my favourite pie is Apple and Blackberry. (Used to walk along the canal bank collecting blackberries. Mum used to soak them in warm salty water to get rid of the insects. 😂

Savoury pie, I love steak and mushroom. (I also enjoy steak and kidney but the rest of my family wont touch the kidney unless I chop it up very small, so it can't be seen, then they love the tasty 'steak Pie' (with no idea it has kidney in it.. 🤣

Steak and ale please!

Surely it is only Pi day in America it's 14.3 in the rest of the world.

It's not Pi Day in the rest of the civilised world I am afraid...

Seems every day has been designated as some sort of 'special' day.....

[Breanna]

Okay so technically it's the International Day of Mathematics, which is arguably more important than *many* other 'special' days. But Pi Day is just more fun for plebs like me.

I'm new to savoury pies @Cleoriff & @gmarkj going to check out what ingredients I need for those...but minus the kidney methinks.

And to @Enlli & @madasaf1sh, I'll be singing Yankee Doodle and eating pie!

[gmarkj]

My mother in law makes a nice plain steak one too...

[madasaf1sh]

I prefer a crumble.. 

But seen as its the International Day of Mathematics, and I have changed my degree to my first love of Astrophysics and Astronomy..

Aka the Ideal Rocket Equation
