I can't find any further info on this Venn piagram, but surely it belongs in the annals of great math related food humor.

Update: It only took nine minutes for more context to arrive, courtesy of adamhst in the comments: this was created by Redditor HungryHungryHippy in celebration of the last Pi Day.

Venn piagram.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    What troubles me most is where the baker got a Venn-compatable(TM) pie-dish.

    There are at least three Pi days.   3-14,  6-28 (2pi)  and November 10 —> 100 Pi day julian calendar.

    Which part of the diagram will be the least likely to get me in trouble with my diet?

  • alissa mower clough

    I’d rather do the trick with pasta, or pizza, if you want to keep the “pie” theme up, since the superimposed ingredients are tastier!

  • Walter Guinon

    Why not do an “exclusive or” piagram? No mixed ingredients and the intersection is good for dieters.

    This screams for a Venn-diagram shepherd’s pie…

  • rabidpotatochip

    I’d say this diagram ends up in the geeky AND delicious category!

    If I can figure out a way to put together a Venn cheesecake, I’m in there…

    • mccrum

      That springform pan would be amazing.

      I can imagine it being done post-cooking however, similar to the Venn diagram birthday cake my daughter and her cousin received on their first birthday (they’re 36 hours apart).  Make two cheesecakes and then chop a bit out of one.  Top as required.

      As a side note, my favorite Venn diagram in recent years:

    It’s the pie plate that was used to bake the Visa/MasterCard logo.

    Why do people insist on overfilling pies that should not be overfilled?

    That crumble looks like the comb over on a middle-aged Porsche owner.

      Some people just can’t not pile on, YOU KNOW?

  • Alex Seidel

    A good how to for your next pi-day:

  • Brainspore

    Cool. The only kind of diagram I ever make out of pie are pie charts which represent the amount of pie remaining in my pie dishes. They are surprisingly accurate though- and they get updated in real time, too.

  • Katherine Martin

    TOTALLY did it first on my blog… complete with crappy MS Paint drawing on how to make the pan.
