+1, before retiring I taught high school and the math teachers baked and brought pies to share with the faculty on this day.

By chance did any of the chem teachers pass around a jug of homemade apple pi to go with it?

I'm a day late to the post, but I don't celebrate Pi Day anyway. If you ask me it's just another holiday made up by the Math Companies to sell more Math.

In Australia and many other outside the USA countries, maths works in a logical way on the calendar.
Day/ month/ year.
So my birthday, today, the fifteenth of March (until midnight) reads 15. 3. 2023.

No Pi day here.

I thought there were 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.
