Today (well, tomorrow) is Pi Day, March 14, 2014. Pi, is a Greek letter that represents a constant. It is most frequently used in equations such as the circumference or area of a circle. Pi has been known for over 4,000 years and nobody really knows who discovered it. It has so many digits after the decimal that it's impossible to memorize every digit of pi. Since Pi Day is such a glorious holiday in the Math World, and our small town of MathLand, I found a Scavenger Hunt that is based off of Pi!
Here are the answers I got.
3. cylinder and sphere
1. Savannah, Georgia
4. E,S,I,O
