[1] Pi, has always fascinated me. There are so many ways you can explain it, so many ways you can break it down and has a lot of history behind it.
For those who need a memory refresh, Pi is a mathematical constant, an irrational real number. It is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter and is approximately equal to 3.14159.
J asked me a trivia question (she had heard over the radio) about Pi on our trip back to her family this weekend. See whether you know the answer to it.
What state in the USA has a law against rounding down the number of Pi to 3?
