When politicians enact unpopular, painful measures to reduce the number of Covid-19 infections and deaths, while tapping on the country’s financial reserves or borrowing money to procure as many vaccines, masks, ventilators, and PPEs for the population.

The mathematical equivalent of “Anti-Mask” or/and “Anti-Vax.” When you refuse to protect yourself against innumeracy or quantitative illiteracy, by failing to learn basic or practical geometry that usually involves the ubiquitous number π, which makes you prone to being conned by mathematical charlatans or unscrupulous sales and marketing folks.

When Pi, the life-threatening Covid-19 variant of concern that came after the variant Omicron, was marginalized by WHO, as it fears that the politically incorrect or mathematically blasphemous label might unprovenly trigger a global outcry or protest among millions of math educators for whatever unspoken or irrational reasons.
From 2020–2023, many different types of Covid-19 variants were floating freely on the planet, but none was as deadly as Pi.

What foes of Russia’s dictator-turned-murderer calls him on Pi Day, the most important date in the mathematics calendar—when angry math educators worldwide throw pies made of manure at portraits or pictures of him.
Is Pitin the modern-day Stalin? Could he avoid landing on the same side of eternity as his evil predecessor?

An apple with π markings all over it, which is used as a cure for people who desire to overcome the fear of appearing foolish, as they conspicuously carry the defaced fruit around in public squares.
Guesstimate how many fearful folks worldwide would be bold enough to walk around with a piapple to train themselves to be thick-skinned.

An equation that shows that multiplying two positive whole numbers doesn’t always make the product larger, and it also shows that the product of two positive whole numbers can be less than its sum.
Isn’t the mathematical sentence 1 × 1 = 1 a numerical curiosity or oddity that should puzzle or excite elementary school teachers, students, and parents, because it shows the idiosyncratic or magical properties of whole numbers?
