On Cloud Pi

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.

Pi Chart

A bar chart whose adjacent vertical bars have heights proportionately based on the digits of the decimal number π—from a distance, the statistical diagram looks like a city skyline.
On a graph paper, what is the most number of bars you can draw for a pi chart?

shiny pies

When things are all good, funky, wicked. Shiny things are good, and so is pie, so good things are shiny pies.
Person 1: "I managed to get those tickets for the show!"

Person 2: "Shiny pies!"

Person 1: "Definitely."

Pi-bond

A dance move which involves pointing your elbows out and rotating your hands around by your chest as if imitating the movement of the bond between 2 p-orbitals as seen in chemistry.
Everyone thought he had lost the dance-off until he pulled out the Pi-bond move.

Pi Striptease

When the irrational and transcendental number π occasionally reveals herself to excite the mathematical brethren of her numerical or geometric hidden properties, be it through some new beautiful pattern or little juicy theorem.
Both number theorists and numerologists get pretty aroused when they get invited to attend a pi striptease event (by invitation only), whose aha! moments could get them mathematically excited for days.

Pi Chart

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.

Twitter Pi

Composing a short story (factoid, haiku, joke, …), or posing a math problem, using 140 (or 280) characters or less on or about the number π.
Three examples of Twitter Pi are:

a) A haiku entitled “Pi in the Sky” goes like this:
Pi is three only.
For the Bible tells me so!
I shalt not doubt it.

b) Trump promised MAGA evangelicals in red-pilled states: “If re-elected, I’d decree π to be 3 for all true-blue patriots.”

c) A math toughie: If 1! = 1 and 2! = 2, show that (1/2)! = 1/2 √π and (–1/2)! = √π.
