Happy Pi Day. Who wants some Pi?

A mathematically bountiful Pi Day to you. Miles OBrien forwards this snapshot, taken just now in the PBS NewsHour kitchen by Colleen Shalby. Rebecca Jacobson baked them. I'm sure they're π-licious.

I count that as 4*pi of pi pie, near January 26.

I really hope that, as it appears, one of those is raspberry pi…

  Indeed! And delicious.

  It’s partially raspberry. It’s raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, and strawberry.

    Nice mix! Ever tried a blueberry & peach pie? — much yummm.

How come there are only 2 pies there in that pic? What is this, rounded-down e day or Feigenbaum’s day or something?

I’m always surprised by Pi day being 14th March. I always expect it to be 22nd September, 22/7.

  I assume Pi Day originated in the US, where we record dates as Month/Day, instead of the other way around (like the rest of the world).

22nd of July is the alternative pi day for the day/month/year parts of the world.

I cheated: our blueberry pie had the pi cut out….it was the vent hole in the crust. Easy peasy.

I wonder if they had any steak and kidney pee.
