Tuesday is pi approximation day (aka pi appreciation day). I think that is because some folks write July 22 as 22/7.
In honor of this day, I plan to order 14" pizzas to enjoy with friends.
For some pizzas I plan to arrange the pieces on a rectangular cookie
sheet in an alternating pattern to form an rectangle about 7" by 22". I will then badger friends into saying "Oooh" and "Ah" before letting
them eat.
Dar,
Close, but not quite squaring the circle :-)
Illustrating this with a stack (in my losing struggle to make this on-topic) seemed too much work. However, those who want to ponder pi on Tuesday might type this into the message box:
put pi & LF & 22/7
Appreciate wonders both large and very small.

I share your appreciation for pi and will join you in celebrating on 22/7.
A day is also needed to celebrate that momentous quartet in mathematics: e, i, pi and -1.
And putting them all together:
e^(i*pi) = -1
It could be a religion.
