Did you know... Pi is an irrational number, which means it cannot be expressed as a ratio of 2 integers, and the digits after the decimal point never end?

Did you know... 22/7 is the best approximation of Pi using integers less than 100, and is accurate to the 2nd decimal place?

Did you know... 355/113 is the best approximation of Pi using integers less than 1000, and is accurate to the 6th decimal place?

Did you know... you need Pi to an accuracy of only 10 decimal places to calculate (to the nearest mm) the circumference of a circle with a diameter equal to the average size of the earth's diameter? (Circumference = Diameter x Pi) You can check this yourself with Microsoft Excel!

Did you know... you need Pi to an accuracy of only 15 decimal places to calculate (to the nearest mm) the circumference of a circle with a radius equal to the average distance of the earth from the sun? (Circumference = Radius x 2 x Pi) You can check this yourself with Microsoft Excel!

Did you know... Pi has been calculated to trillions of decimal places? Fortunately you don't need them all to solve this puzzle!
