Interestingly, I proved the value of pi today! My sister made apple pie (she is, no doubt, an extraordinary baker) today, and I decided, why not incorporate some math to it? So I decided to measure the circumference of the pie tray and then the diameter, to calculate the value of pi. So, I used my earphones as a referent. The total length of the circumference of the pie was equal to about 66 cm. I then measured the diameter of the pie, which turned out to be about 21 cm. When you divide the circumference of any circle by the diameter of the same circle, you get the value of pi! Obviously, due to human error, you can't receive the exact value but I got pretty close: 66cm (circumference measurement) / 21 cm (diameter measurement) = 3.142857... Ta da! So, I basically proved the value of pi which a delicious apple pie as a circle! I know we all know about this, but why can't we try crazy stuff like this! This is super cool! I am a total nerd, I know. Good luck,
