When no mathematical constant other than π has attracted so much envy or jealousy among fellow members in the Number Kingdom—when π continues to steal the show wherever she goes, because her sexy numerical and geometric properties have led legions of math geeks on their knees to worship her.
Love her or loathe her, even mathophohics can’t ignore the mesmerizing or magical beauty of f***ing pi, with some of them even able to experience an aha! when they let go of their off-irrational inhibitions, real or imaginary.

A three-star-plus hotel that is popular among lower-middle-class tourists, who want a free-and-easy experience, without being pressured to join local group tours to visit oft-spiritually unclean or demonic places of worship and retail shops (which promise to give a percentage of their profits to the tour guide).
The “fine” city of Singapore plans to build more pi star hotels in coming years to target travelers from emerging economies, who couldn’t afford to stay in a five-star hotel, yet wished to receive a perceived first-class visitors’ treatment.

The aftermath the overwhelming demand for Taylor Swift’s limited supply of wallet-unfriendly concert tickets has on math or math education among teenagers and young adults in some high-GDP nations and emerging economies in Asia—when there seems to be an inexplicably positive correlation between idol worship and a rise in the quantitative literacy among the Swifties.
Two Swiftematics quickies tailor-made for middle- and high-school Swifties are:
1. Guesstimate how much tourism revenue Taylor Swift’s six concerts would generate when she toured the “fine” city of Singapore in March 2024.
2. What are the chances that a Singaporean Swiftie would get to watch their American idol live when she performed in “Disneyland with the death penalty” next year?

A T-shirt with a hole that resembles the shape of the number π—one that is debatably unsuitable to be worn by young girls and women unless they are wearing it over an unholey garment.
Some math geeks plan to wear a π-shirt on Pi Day to make a fashion statement before their peers and teachers.

Out-of-print math titles whose covers, contents, or creators the present generation could still remember, because when they were students, teachers, or parents, these wallet-friendly, brain-unfriendly books had positively impacted their mathematical learning or teaching, which were unsurprisingly bestsellers of their day.
Singapore’s zombie math titles of yesteryear like Fabian Ng’s “Process Skills in Problem Solving,” Dr Y H Leong’s “Challenging Problems in Mathematics,” and K C Yan’s “Mathematical Quickies & Trickies” had not only differentiated themselves from the sea of canned drill-and-kill titles, but they have since become an integral part of the local math education culture.
