For a mathematician, pi is a ubiquitous constant. Here are two pictures depicting this wonderful number. The first one is taken from here . The second one is from a series of drawings called "Mathematical Impressions" by the Russian Mathematician A.T. Fomenko . This one, also called "the amazing numbers pi and e" happens to be there in my Dept.'s undergraduate help room. If you look at it on the left side of the "skyscrapper" each block has certain number of dots... going from left to write the number of dots are 3,1,4,1,5,9.... and so on and we all know pi=3.14159.... . Can you guess the number of dots on the right side of the skyscrapper?
