It’s National Pi Day!

MAGE DISTRIBUTED FOR MARIE CALLENDER'S - Marie Callender's shows the best of both worlds with a celebratory Pi Day fusion of math and dessert: Take a pie out of a 400° oven, walk to the counter at 3 mph, and slice 1/9 of the pie at a 40° angle. How quickly do you eat the pie? For more Pi Day inspiration, check out Marie Callender’s Facebook page. (Marie Callender via AP Images)

(WISH) – It’s National Pi Day! March 14 is the one day of the year to celebrate the mathematical constant π.
