Sky HISTORY - This Day in HISTORY
On this day:

Pi is Number One!

It’s Pi Day! No, not the good kind of pie. If it was the good kind of pie I would have screamed ‘It’s Pie Day!’ But I didn’t did I? Cloth ears. Instead we are talking about the bad kind of pi. The maths one used to figure out how circles work or something.

As pi works out to roughly 3.14 and then some more random numbers, it is celebrated on March 14th or 3/14. Except everyone but America writes it as 14/3 - so either we’ve got the day wrong or we’ve been getting circles wrong for all these years.
