To celebrate pi day, I wore my "Pi A La Mode" T-shirt and took a math test. (The test may have just been a coincidence, but my teacher seemed familiar with pi day, so who knows?) Later on, I'll go to my work where we make pizza (pies).
Incidentally, the pizzas at my work have the same number of slices as their diameter in inches (our six inch pizzas have six slices, our ten inch pizzas have ten slices, etc.). Thus, for example, the circumference of a large pizza divided by the number of slices is: 14 pi in / 14 = pi in. This means that, ignoring small variation in the size and shapes of the pizza, an average slice of our pizza has an arc length of pi. Interesting, no?
