Geocache Description:

 Come and celebrate Pi Day


March 14 2015 is pi day.

If you read the date (American style) it's 31415 so why not celebrate this day with a geocaching party. You will even earn a special, shiny, virtual geocaching souvenir for attending.

π is commonly defined as the ration of a circle's circumference C to its diameter d:

 \pi = \frac{C}{d}

The ratio C/d is constant, regardless of the circle's size. For example, if a circle has twice the diameter of another circle it will also have twice the circumference, preserving the ratio C/d. This definition of π implicitly makes use of flat geometry (Euclidean); although the notion of a circle can be extended to any curved (non-Euclidean) geometry, these new circles will no longer satisfy the formula π = C/d. There are also other definitions of πthat do not immediately involve circles at all. For example, π is twice the smallest positive x for which cos(x) equals 0
