How I like pi...but not in my eye

Happy World ∏ Day. Yes, my favorite math number: pi or 3.14159... World Pi Day is celebrated on 3-14, for obvious reasons. If you a real enthusiast, you would have gone bonkers at 1:59 this afternoon. Quite fitting, I know.

For my math classes today, I assigned an extra credit project that they could either bake a pie or recite the first 20 decimal digits of ∏. The pies were quite good and creative, as you can see:
Well, there was one pie that wasn't so good, the avocado pie forgot to acquire any flavor or any characteristic of being edible.

So my genius math students thought up the idea, that since the school is in the middle of raising money for our new building, why not pie Mr. H in the face if they could raise enough money?? Pi is irrational, so I guess that caused me to make an irrational decision in this case. I told them that they had to raise 314.15 pesos, a logical amount on such a day, by 3:14 PM in the afternoon, and then they could pie me in the face. I didn't think they could do $100 dollars in less than 4 hours.

Well, I underestimated their fundraising abilities. I should have made it dollars. So yes, I got an avocado pie smacked up into my face at the end of school today. Avocado pie stings when it enters your eyes, I can tell you from past experience. So to all who have lived this March 14th....HAPPY PI DAY!!! (just keep it out of your eye)
