Knowing this never once made me popular at a party! And now tau is all the rage... Maybe someday I'll get it right.

Wow Bananas that is pretty impressive!!! I know that on PI day (March 14) people compete to see who can recite pi to the most number of places. I think they are up to 10,000 places, or perhaps more.

mmmmmm......pie

Oh coolness! I thought it was a city skyline and never would have noticed the pi connection.

My family has a geeky tradition of making "pi pie" for pi day each year:

I am always trying to fit in more digits!

If you can't figure out the connection, pay close attention to the vertical clues (read left to right across the top)

Way back in elementary school I heard a terrific explanation why pi was infinite: if you place a radian (the angle of a circle's radius, if the radius is transcribed along the arc of the circle, which is approximately 57.3 degrees), then draw a second radian beginning at the first one's endpoint, it is just over 3 (3.14.... actually) to the diameter. Now draw a straight line from point to point, then over and over and over again, and eventually you'll get something that looks drawn by a Spirograph. You'll never get exactly back to your place of beginning.
Because no matter how many billions of straight lines you draw, you will never get to an actual curve. That is the defiition of infinity.
