Ball was just trying to approximate the value of pi through the perimeters of inscribed and circumscribed hexagons when someone threw a pie at him! Now, who would do such a thing? (Had he succeeded in his experiment, by the way, he would have narrowed down the value of pi to between 3 and 3.464.)
The Crayon
In honor of pi day, I would like to recommend peach pie. It’s by far the most delicious.
P.S. Why would ANYONE throw a pie at Ball? And what kind of pie is it?
I believe the standard throwing pie is cream, which would seem to agree with the gooey splatter pattern on the ball. A more detailed analysis is necessary to definitively determine.
The Crayon
Yes, a cream pie, probably thrown by someone who hates math.

Good stuff Ball! Now if you’re ever stuck for what to carve on your pumpkin on Halloween, try a pi sign…you’ve got “Pumpkin Pi”! Random I know, and very early in the year to discuss Halloween…
