Pi Day Celebration (by EventTeam

)

In honor of the last genuine Pi Day until another thousand years, (3.1415926535... equals 3/14/15 09:26:53:59) ET is hosting a competition in two parts. First, we have Pi Day: Flavor Brainstorming, and secondly, Creative Pics. The link for Flavor Brainstorming is here, and for Creative Pics, the link is here.
Have fun, and enjoy this, quite literal, once in a lifetime experience ^_^

First, lets give a round of applause to Happle, who made this amazing pi layout!!!

About:
As you might know, the word "pi" indicates an irrational number, with no repeating/repeating decimals. It can be dated back to being the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet. In geometrical terms, it is the ratio of a circumference of a circle to it's diameter. But above all, most people know of it as the mathematical term, 3.14. Of course, that may be but the simplified form you see on a calculator, yet how exactly did this infinite number come into play?

History:
The beginnings of pi can be dated back over 4 thousand years, to where ancient Babylonians calculated pi to be about... 3. Yup. Three. Not that close, but on the right track. Since they figured the circumference of a circle needed to be calculated by multiplying the diameter by a number, they assumedly measured the circumference of a circle, then divided that amount by the diameter of the circle. Later, on, evidence shows that Egyptians gained a more accurate depiction of pi, using a different formula. Their answers gave pi the value of about... 3.105. Almost, but not quite. Over time, mathematical geniuses calculated pi close to it's present known value, and finally, in the 18th century, a mathematician named Georges Buffon devised a formula to calculate pi based on probability. Over time, it has been connected to the word "pie" through a homophone relationship, and this, fortunately gives the word a delightful twist on such a stressing math term. However, there will only be such a date every thousand years, calculated to the last mili-second. By now, the moment has passed, so hopefully, we can still honor this simple, yet important term through these competitions. Now let's get started!
