Pi has been around for almost 4000 years, but let's talk about the real pie-timeline! Back in ancient Babylon, they thought pi was a neat and tidy 3. Then along came Archimedes, who played the world's first game of 'Guess the Pi' and landed somewhere between 3 1/7 and 3 10/71. Ptolemy added his two cents, giving us 3.1416, probably after a heated debate with Archimedes at the math club. Not to be left out, Zu Chongzhi, a brilliant Chinese mathematician and astronomer, took a similar approach to calculating pi, showing that mathematical genius knows no cultural bounds.
Meanwhile, in a parallel pastry universe, the Egyptians were baking what we now call pies, and the Greeks were flexing their culinary skills, possibly while debating the finer points of geometry. Fast forward to Thanksgiving in 1621, where the pilgrims didn't have pumpkin pie but were chowing down on meat pies like it was going out of style. The colonists loved pies so much they used them as winter food storage units. Talk about a crusty situation! And what's more American than apple pie? Well, actually, it's pretty English. But hey, we'll still claim it as our own. Because in the end, whether it's math or dessert, everyone wants a piece of the pie!Join us this Thursday for a pie in the sky trail to celebrate all things π and pie!
