HAPPY PI DAY: March 14th (3.14) is PIday and all around the world mathematicians are celebrating this compelling and mysterious constant of Nature. Pi appears in equations describing the orbits of planets, the colors of auroras, the structure of DNA. It's everywhere.

Humans have been struggling to calculate PI for thousands of years. Divide the circumference of a circle by its diameter; the ratio is PI. Sounds simple, but the devil is in the digits. While the value of PI is finite (a smidgen more than 3), the decimal number is infinitely long:

81640628620899862803482534211706...more

Supercomputers have succeeded in calculating more than 200 billion digits and they're still crunching. The weirdest way to compute PI: throw needles at a table or frozen hot dogs on the floor. Party time!
