How is it not a 'thing' for bakeries to sell appropriately sized half-pies for $3.14 dollars and whole pies for $6.28 dollars on pi day?

Blaze pizza is selling "pies" for $3.14.  Not much of a line at all.... /s.

My local library is doing just that today with donated pies. I took down an apple and pumpkin.

My guess is they don't feel like losing money on gimmick?

The nice pie place here in OKC in the Plaza District......$26 for a full size pie, $10 for a 6" pie.

Seems that few are getting the core of your joke, where pi angle is only half a circle ($3.14) where 2pi is a full circle ($6.28).

That would be tau obscure to expect people to "get".

Why is there not somebody, somewhere, who can make a series of tutorials and make math entertaining and fun....?

I don't think it counts as a tutorial, but the Mind Your Decisions math series on YouTube is pretty entertaining.

You'll need to log in to post.
