Calculating Pi Using Pies
In honor of Pi day, which is tomorrow, I found a great video showing a few people trying to calculate pi using actual pies! As we all know, pi is equal to the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter. By counting the number of pies placed on the circumference of a chalk circle and dividing it by the number of pies placed on the diameter of the same circle, the people in the video got a number extremely close to the actual value of pi!

I also attached the same video to my fun blog post on pi too! I was actually surprised at how close they got to the value of pi by using this method. I also find it unintentionally/intentionally clever how the video is 3:14 long.
