Day for the Pi

   Agenda | Posted on March 13, 2015

Pi lovers at Andrews University celebrated National Pi Day on Thursday by eating pie. And lots of it.
Karen Johnson-McWilliams of the university's math department said the school provided 25 pies and 64 cheesecake squares, which quickly disappeared.

She said she cut the 8-inch pies into eight pieces and the bigger pies into 16 pieces, which gave her 320 pieces when you add in the 64 cheesecake pieces.

So, how many eight-inch pies did she have?

You do the math.

For most of America, Pi Day is Saturday, when the calendar and clock will combine for two moments to read: 3-14-15, 9:26:53 - or pi to its 10th digit. Andrews celebrated Thursday before classes ended for spring break.
