Grab Your Slice of Pi (and Please Don't Eat It 'till We're Done)
Now to get some pi to appreciate. There are a lot of websites offering up to 2 million digits of pi. Don't worry, as we are not going that deep. We are stopping at the 100th digit or so.
Here is a website you can go to get pi :

Reflections
What were those for? For fun. Don't take them too seriously. Enjoy life. Takeaway a pi-zza (haha). Sit and eat. Forget all these. You will find it difficult at first.
Then come back to this instructable and repeat. Hopefully this has made your day.
Returning a few years later to look at your own Instructable is always fun :D
