Pi Day, March 14. Unfortunately, (or fortunately) for Booker T. students, we spent Pi Day all across the country and across the world exploring circles and their circumfrences in all different forms. I spent this international holiday in the wonderful city of New York and enjoyed macaroons on Columbus Circle. Columbus Circle is a perfectly enlarged outlet for pi to be present, and the center of the circle is clearly marked with a monument and is surrounded by a pedestrian circle and then a traffic circle. The ratio between the circumference of the inner circle to the diameter is the exact same (3.14) as the ratio between the circumference of the outer traffic circle to its diameter (3.14). It would be interesting to measure the exact distances of each circle with the diameters, because it would still be the same as the ratio between the diameter of my delicious macaroon to its circumference. I am happy to report that my Pi Day wars full of this wonderful, magical and interminable constant in real life situations. We should take a field trip to New York City to prove the validity of Pi in Columbus Circle!
