Wednesday, March 14th, 2018, (3/14) is Pi Day. Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. The number starts with 3.14, but it goes on for infinity.

Learn about a few special deals for Pi Day, below. More will be added as they’re announced.

I can consistently remember just 3 digits of Pi, which obviously is nothing to brag about.

However, my friend, graphic designer Lyndsay Cooper, is famous for memorizing Pi. Three years ago, at a party, with no warning, I asked her to recite Pi for me and she recited the first 50 digits. And that’s only because she was unprepared. In high school, she was champion of a Pi memorizing contest and memorized many more. Video here.
