Pi Day?

[jelvenko]

Ok, so today is Pi Day. (The math term. 3.1415926...) I was wondering if anybody else's school did anything special for it.

We celebrated yesterday at my college, since almost no one has Friday classes. The faculty wore T-Shirts with the first 100 digits of Pi on the back. And there was a contest for the students to see who could recite the most digits of Pi without screwing up.

It was actually fun. I signed up for the contest just for the fun of it and actually won! Got the first 23 digits before messing up. So I got a "Pi" plate with the Pi symbol in the middle of it, and the numbers around the outside edge (as many as would fit). A new graphing calculator, and a gift card to buy a pie. So yeah. I guess boredom can pay off. (In high school I would sit there and try to memorize Pi off the poster on the wall instead of listening in Algebra class.)

Here's a website about it if you have no clue what I am talking about: www.piday.org

So did anyone else do something to celebrate Pi? If so, what did you do?

Yeah my school did a bunch of stuff yesterday. They had pie eating, also selling pies and what not. I am not in a math class or anything so i didnt hear too much of what was going on.

in the past my school never did anything for it.
Last year, my friend went out and had a pie party with
his other math geek friend, lol

I remember celebrating Mole day at my high school, but we never really did to much as far as celebration, and nothing ever for Pi days, sounds interesting though.

My school has a huge math department so they do something for pi day They have a pi-reciting contest (some people know well over a hundred digits here, its kind of crazy ) and they give out pie in the math building at 1:59.
