Finding Pi

Prompts = Circumference, Share, Store

Stuart couldn’t sit still in a classroom setting. Which is why, when learning about the ratio pi (the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter), he decided to calculate it himself. If some ancient guys could get it to 3.14 using ancient tools, he could do at least as well.

It’s why, when he shared his story with his local community, all the hardware stores donated supplies to form and measure the biggest circle they could.

Stuart didn’t care they ended up in the Guinness Book of World Records. He was happy to accurately calculate pi to six digits.

Pastel, Bliss, Store

On the days when his parents were due to be out of the house for a few hours, Bruce would grab the ladder from the garage in order to get into the attic and look at his dad’s old Playboys.

Aside from those old magazines, and the Christmas decorations, the attic was full of items and old memories. Senior yearbooks and tassels - the bliss of never needing to attend school again.  A pastel shirt and cardigan combo with the store tags still on them - a relic of a bygone decade with no hope of ever being worn. And much more.
