The latest e-commerce shiny object, where math educators’ memories of Pi Day events are stored in the cloud and can be downloaded for a fee—charges are based on a customer satisfaction index (CSI), which ranks each memory or story in proportion to the degree of pleasure or satisfaction it brings.
With schools unlikely to open for another year, which by then the pandemic is predicted to have subsided, being on cloud pi is the closest experience for math students and teachers to vicariously be on cloud nine on the most important date in the mathematics calendar.

With pi being part of pop culture, it’s not surprising to hear mathophobic actors in Hollywood complain about reel pi, as it reminds them of their bad experiences of school math, especially if they’d flunked the subject several times prior to making it big in the entertainment industry.

Get the Reel Pimug. An eye chart for math geeks, with the digits of the number π and some math symbols on display rather than showing any of the 26 letters of the English alphabet and the ten numerals.
Doctors at some elite colleges are giving students who come for their medical check-up the option to choose between a pi chart and the eye chart that is commonly used in spectacles shops and hospitals.
