PARSIPPANY — Mathnasium of Northeast Parsippany celebrated Pi Day where the students performed pi-related activities in place of their normal session and held a pi memorization contest again.
“Pi Day” was named because the irrational number representing the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter will show up in 10 sequential digits as opposed to the typical three.
The difference from last year being… the students performed activities every hour!
The top winner memorized and recited 155 digits this year as opposed to a still impressive 83 digits last year, where second place memorized 102 digits and there was a tie for third place at 101 digits – talk about close!
They had some good shots of instructors getting pied in the face (where the winner of each contest would be able to pie any instructor they wanted), including some good short videos.
This Pi Day was arguably even more special than last year in the sense that 3.14.16 is actually much closer to pi because pi is 3.14159… as well as it being Albert Einstein’s 137th birthday!
Mathnasium of Northeast Parsippany is located at 450 North Beverwyck Road. For more information, click here.
