The π = 3 Church

When believers subscribe to the uncompromising view that any numbers or fractions mentioned in, or mathematical constants derived from, the Bible must be taken literally with zero room for approximation, adulteration, or subtraction.
Founded by a group of Bible literalists-turned-theomaticians, the π = 3 Church has so far failed to appeal to pre-believers and the converted, especially those who’re allergic to school or college math, despite regularly distributing free pies and pizzas to the poor in the community.

Pimageddon

When the last battle between good and evil prior to the Judgement Day would take place could hypothetically or unprovenly be divined from the digits of the decimal number π.
Both number theorists and biblical numerologists are hell-bent to figuring out the D-day for Pimageddon—who would be the pi futurist who stubbornly claimed to be able to predict Christ’s Second Coming, Who had already forewarned his followers that He would return to earth like a thief?

Covid-19

A virus that has proved to be more effective than the brutal measures adopted by most dictatorial or rogue leaders in stopping pro-democracy and anti-government protests, slowing down terrorist attacks, reducing air and noise pollution, and exposing inept heads of state in handling a crisis.
Thanks to Covid-19, some previously thought extinct animals, birds, and fish have reappeared, bringing much joy and smile to so many people worldwide.

Pitradamus

Short for “Pi Nostradamus.” Someone who not only coins π-related terms and popularizes oft-preposterous π concepts, but also predicts π breakthroughs—or makes bold claims on π hypotheses that could be proved or disproved in a-not-too-distant future.
It’s estimated that there are a dozen-odd pitradamuses or “pi futurists” who are unofficially affiliated with higher institutions of learning worldwide—they work as ghost researchers or ghostwriters for tenured math profs.

Tokenized Math

When math collectibles (coins & stamps, vintage puzzles & toys, out-of-print books & classics, and antique measuring instruments & calculators), math cards, urban math definitions, IMO or Fields medals, NFTs, memes, and the like can be broken up into smaller parts that can be sold individually, thus making fractional ownership of both digital or physical assets possible.
Guesstimate how much the global tokenized math business could be worth if collectors started to trade their precious assets in the metaverse.

π-shirt

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.

Tiger Math

Brain-unfriendly math questions that have been commissioned by superstitious owners of tuition centers in Singapore—who were unprovenly advised by feng shui masters or charlatans—to freelance writers, as the bosses believe that posing these word problems to their students or tutees would bring them good luck and prosperity in the Lunar Year of the Tiger.
It’s as if traditional Singapore math questions aren’t tough enough for students and their kiasu parents, but now with tuition or enrichment centers terrorizing their students with tiger math toughies in the name of superstition, the Year of the Tiger looks like another mathematical nightmare to those who are already suffering from math anxiety.
