Today is the Pi Day of the century, the ultimate for math fanatics! Pi, known by mathematicians as π, is an irrational number that begins with to 3.1415926535… Today is 3.14.15, so we have the first five digits so far! At 9:26:53 am or pm, that’s the next five digits. Consequently, at 2 different times day we have the first 10 digits of π! The next time that will happen will be in 2115, and just how many crystal fanatics might be around for that celebration!
With the play on numbers on Pi Day, how about a play on words and symbols? I’m unaware of any Swarovski pie figurines, so let’s go with π-neapple figurines! (Hope that wasn’t TOO bad??)
