      Its definitely safe to say that I can’t! I usually round down to 3.14 which is a long way off the trillion digits beyond its decimal point.

      As far as I am aware pi has been used for thousands of years and is used to describe the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle. Regardless of the circle’s size, this ratio will always equal pi.

      Personally I prefer the pies that come from ovens.
