Trying to decide how you're going to celebrate Pi Day (3.14) this year? Avoid the congested airports and typical math holiday madness, and join us instead for Ask a Scientist's Pi Day Puzzle Party — a boisterous math and logic puzzle competition, hosted by the inimitable Wes Carroll. You can compete solo or on a team of up to 6 people. Come with your own crew, or form a team on the spot with other partnerless smarties. Bring your own pencils, scratch paper, and basic non-scientific calculators. The winning team receives a round of applause and a boundless feeling of pride! Plus: the members of this year's winning team will be promoted from Competitors to Scouts — helping us search for and test the best possible puzzles for Pi Day 2017!
