Every year, the school’s Math Honor Society has a celebration to recognize the significance of March 14, the numerical date of which is the first few digits of the number Pi (π).

This year, the celebration was especially meaningful because the date was March 14, 2015. 3.14.15 represents the first five digits of Pi instead of the three that normally occur annually.

At the celebration, there was almost 100 cupcakes, Pi trivia, and a contest to determine who could recite the most digits of Pi. The number goes 3.14159265 and so on, endlessly. People often memorize hundreds of digits to prepare for the friendly competition at the celebration.

Seven students participated in the contest this year. They first wrote down as many digits as they knew and orally recited all they had memorized. Their two scores were then averaged together.

Senior Nick Anderson won first place for the fourth year in a row after reciting 298 digits of Pi while Sophomore Frayser Wall won second place, memorizing 151 digits.
