Happy Day-Before-Pi-Day!

As most people know, Pi in mathematics is roughly 3.14... and as most American's can tell you, in 1 days time (well, for me anyway. I think it's still 2 days time in America) it will be March the 14th, aka 3/14, aka PI DAY! to celebrate this momentous date, my maths C class (this is the extra maths i take, with only 7 other students) are having the first ever maths C excursion to the local bakery to buy pies. Which is super exciting, seeing as exam block starts 2 days later, so we're basically getting an excuse to miss boring revision lessons, for a holiday that doesn't even work here Down Under (we write the date as 14/3...). In any case, my friend and i spent last night coming up with some of the many reasons pies should be celebrated on pi day.

1) they have a circumference - with the exceptions of pizza and cookies, pretty much no other food has a perimeter that uses pi in its formula. 1 point for Pies.

2) pieces can be measured using radians - with the exception of pizza (again), what other food would you slice up into equal pieces using radians, aka angles with pi? None, i tell you. 2 Points for Pies

3) they're called "pies"... - which is obvious, but the chief reason that pies should be celebrated on pi day, obviously, is the fact that they're homonyms. What other food shares this glorious name? Can't think of one, can you. 3 Points of Pies.

And with that settled, i shall leave you to organise your own pie day celebrations. Comment me with ideas, what you're doing, or your favourite kind of pie. Mine's apple ;)
