Finally this is your chance to pay tribute to the magnificent transcendental number that we have all grown to love! Here are 25 questions (given to you 5 at a time), picked randomly from my pi question database. Get ready for the thrill of your lifetime, the ultimate challenge, The Pi Trivia Game!

1. Are pi's digits periodic?




2. How does one convert pi in base 10 to base 2?




3. What is another name for pi in Germany?




4. For many years, it has been conjectured but unproven that pi is normal in base 10. What does normal mean?




5. What professor was dismissed from his position in 1934 for teaching in an "un-German" style after saying (correctly) that pi/2 is the value of x between 1 and 2 for which cos x vanishes?
