pi day - March 14

March 14 marks an extremely nerdy day on the calendar. (Particularly written in the American format 3/14).

It is the official celebration of Pi - π, the magical, mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.

For any circle you can imagine, if you divide the distance around a circle by the distance across it, you will get pi or π or 

3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749 ...... and on and on, I could keep going, but you get the picture!

Last year we had a number of students who excelled with their large recall of the numbers of pi. 

On March 14 we'll hold this years' edition of the Pi recall competition and see if we have a student who can progress last years' 75 places of Pi.
