What Did You Do On Pi Day?

If you have been following the trends this weekend you will know that Saturday, date 3.14.15 at 9:26:53 was International Pi Day! Get it? 3.14.15 at 9:26:53 = 3.141592653 which is equal to π! What an auspicious day it was to celebrate since it happens once every 100 years!
According to askamathematician.com, mathematicians are still unsure whether this wondrous infinite decimal has a single finite sequence of numbers but they do guarantee that it is never repeated for example, it's never .123412341234...

The world and social media were buzzing with all things pi. To share the significance of pi here are a few images and videos for your entertainment.

  • People were making pies on #PiDay (of course).

Fusion Network shared 17 mouthwatering pies to celebrate Pi Day. Math never tasted so good.


  • A farmer gathered his cattle and made a new symbol, Cow Pi !




  • College Humor sang a song called "Sweet Number Pi." 


This song which is fourteen minutes long was a hilarious attempt by the guys to sing all the numbers of Pi. This was definitely LOL worthy.

There was another occasion to celebrate, a privileged scientist Albert Einstein's birthday was on Pi Day! He would have been 136 years old.
