Pi (pi), n., pl. pis.
l. in the Greek alphabet, the 16th letter (II).
2. the sound represented by this letter.
3. Math. a. the letter pi, used as the symbol for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
b. 3.141592+, the ratio itself.
[1835-45; pi, pei; used in mathematics to represent Greek peripherion periphery]

For anyone that has ever touched any form of trigonometry, geometry, or calculus - the
significance of pi becomes very clear, both in the ideal Cartesian plane, and in the natural world.
From a drop of water, to the planets and the stars, pi is a necessary constant in determining the
circumference, area, or volume of any spherical or circular object - all that is needed is the
diameter. However, pi is irrational, it's preciseness will never be fully uncovered

In the Greek alphabet, pi is the sixteenth letter (and 16 is the square of 4). In the English
alphabet, p is also the sixteenth letter, and i is the ninth letter (the square of 3). Add them up
(16+9), and you get 25 (the square of five). Multiply them (16x9), and you get 144 (the square
of 12). Divide 9 by 16, and you get .5625 (the square of .75). It's no wonder that they say, "Pi
are squared!"

Q: What do you get if you divide the circumference of a jack-o-lantern by its diameter?
