Easy, just use the π symbol on your calculator

It was a fascinating way to think about it and not a question I’ve ever really considered to that depth.

Interesting and fun thanks. A shame April has only 30 days for us here in Oz.

At a science review I listened to students sing the Pi song. Not sure exactly how many decimal places but it was a long song and surprisingly entertaining.

Is there any other country in the world that has more or less than 30 days in April

Well as 314 is never going to happen here as a date 227 is as good as any. Every day it is 3.14.15.

In recognition of Pi day this Sudoku puzzle was released. It shows Pi to 19 decimal points in a circle (with 6 in the centre).

The solution to solve it is here.
