When mathematical conjectures or hypotheses on the number π have finally been proved to be false—any hunches or doubts about them have now been put to rest.
In the last half-century, the piece of land initially allocated for pi cemetery has been enlarged a few times to welcome new dead members on its premises.

A math question that is considered so easy to solve, or a math paper that turns out to be as easy as pie—a no-brainer even for those who are anxious or petrified about certain brain-unfriendly school or college math topics.
Most of the 2021 grades 1–5 math exam papers in certain US red states were a piece of pi for the a large proportion of students during the Covid-19 pandemic.

When censors from a Department of Education in a state rejected submitted math textbooks from major publishers because their “woke” authors had allegedly tried to indoctrinate children with critical race theory, foreign problem-solving strategies, and multicultural math topics, when in actual fact these math titles contain real-life problems that would help hone students’ problem-solving skills, compared to artificially canned questions of traditional publishers with whom they have a vested interest in—when politics and profits triumph over pedagogy and proficiency.
Last week, with the blessing of their state governor, diehard math educators in Florida carried out a mathematical insurrection against a number of educational publishers for subtly including Common Core pedagogies on top of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) elements in their textbooks.

Timesheeting at a public toilet. When a public toilet cleaner ticks off their daily assigned tasks at regular intervals, while reporting any defect or breakdown, on a washroom inspection card.
The poor sanitary conditions at most public toilets worldwide shows that most janitors pay lip service to timeshitting, who are often pissed off by the inconsiderate behaviors of some members of the public, such as squatting with their dirty shoes on the toilet bowl, failing to flush the toilet after use, and stealing toilet rolls.

Short for “Pi Initial Coin Offering.” A startup by mathepreneurs, who aim to raise at least $3.14 million in exchange for pi tokens or PiCoins to help eradicate innumeracy in the developing world—their mission is to sponsor math educators-volunteers to help raise the quantitative literacy of millions of people in poorer countries.
Unlike a Pi IPO, which normally involves lots of checks or red tape, raising funds via a Pi ICO bypasses all of this—a relatively easier and cheaper way of raising money to improve the mathematical proficiency of poor communities worldwide faster.

When the beautiful properties of the number 6 often lead her to unexpected or undesirable results, as she explores meaningful relationships with other numbers, who often lie to her about their alleged power or connection to take advantage of her.
Since hearing about her recurring misery, both pi and phi had stepped forward to advise (un)protected six against befriending numerical or geometrical wolves in sheep’s clothing.
