This one is for me as your twin son know fewer digits than I have years.
And for trivia, what is the largest number of digits you know or have used in any calculation?
Me, I know it to 15 decimal places and one of my twin sons knows it to over 50. He runs them off so fast it is hard to tell.
Pi Day? Make mine Boston Cream please.

If a hole measures 6 feet across and 3 feet deep, how big is half a hole?
Why is it never-ending?
I’m not trying to Rain Cloud your post, but my only question about Pi is this: What is it used for in today’s world, except as an Open Set measurement of long ‘numbers’?
**P.S., I’m not that good at math, and have only rarely enjoyed it.
What does a wheel look like in that universe.
(My students always enjoyed this question.)

You only need 39 or 40 digits of pi to calculate the circumference of the observable universe to within the width of a hydrogen atom.

I remember when Kirk (or was it Spock?) ordered the computer to calculate Pi.
My 6th grade math teacher - “ Pi are not round, Pi are squared”.
Around a year ago, I was in Walmart and noticed a TI Inspire CX calculator was priced at only $30. I didn’t know for sure but thought that must be a great price.
It rang up something like $140. I told the cashier that it was marked $30. The manager was standing right there and went to check. She said they were mispriced and to let me have it for $30.
I then asked her if I could buy them all. She laughed and said no.
I asked the Tootsie Pop owl what was the value of pi, but he always rounds it off the just 3.
Cannibal Pi
A man and his wife owned a flower shop. One day they went to Africa on a safari to look for exotic African violets. The safari was attacked by cannibals who captured the couple and took them to their village to be fried as people pie for dinner. Just as the cannibals began to prepare to pie crust, a herd of female sheep stampeded into the village. The cannibals immediately seized the female sheep and let the couple free. Only ewes can prevent florist fryers.
Ah....
But WHEN is “Pi Day”?
