When the number π is aware of injustice and discrimination against other fellow mathematical constants that have not got the same opportunity or media coverage as her, but she is indifferent to all that because speaking up and out about these issues or biases is not to her benefit.
Wokie pi doesn’t want to rock the mathematical boat that has ferried her to so many areas of interest patronized by mathematicians and math educators.
When on hearing the sound of the number π, an autistic person or idiot savant thinks of a slice of a cake or pizza instead, or equates either word for something else that is unmistakably alien or paranormal.
Just as the man who mixed up his job for his life, Prof. Paulos, who mildly suffers from schizophrenia, occasionally sounds like the man who mistook pi for pie.
A substitution for the word "pry bar", but can also be used for anything else.
Jeff, where's my pi boar? I can't get any leverage!
A normal clock in which the numerals representing the numbers 1 to 12 have been replaced by only three irrational numbers, positioned at π, 2π, and 3π.
What is the acute angle measure when the minute hand of a pi clock points exactly at 2π while the hour hand has moved past 3π—or when the time is slightly past 9:30? Answer: 97.3°.

When the practice of Tai Ji (or T’ai Chi) could metaphysically or transcendentally propel someone to experience an aha! on the number π.
Speaking to a group of Buddhist mathematicians and math educators, a Tibetan lama challenged his audience to explore the mutual benefits of Tai Ji and Pi.

A poem wrote by a skilled Gaelic poet that describes the equation of Pi.
I see the transcendental equation, my perfect Pi-etic formula of perfections perception, let me clear the cathartic confetti off my mind, with a little graffiti painted with rhyme, I found within a pure souls schemes, beating at a constant 3.14, life back into my bloodstream, why was such an elegant absolute such as this given to humanity? Perhaps society needed a flawless form to awake from hates mass-memories. Reading a symbol as I laid wide asleep I feel awake, one thing better another numbered sweet flesh, gift of her eternal breath.
When the symbol π drawn on a piece of paper is cut up and glued onto a piece of magnetic sheet to make a DIY fridge magnet—an inexpensive fun family math activity to introduce the most popular constant in mathematics to precocious kids.
What are the chances that if some kidpreneurs decided to tailor-make some pi magnets to sell to their classmates, they could earn enough money to afford a Mother’s Day present?
