Here Are The Winners From Princeton's Pi Day Contests

PRINCETON, NJ — The weekend was busy as Princeton celebrated Pi Day and the birthday of Princeton's famous resident - Albert Einstein.

Various Princeton organizations collaborated to host several events across town.

One of the most popular events held every year is the Einstein look-alike contest. This year's contest was won by Aradhya, a 7-year-old student from Dutch Neck Elementary. She also recited 140 digits of Pi.

The most fun event of the day, the pie eating contest was won by Adrian, a third-grader from Riverside Elementary.

And this year’s Pi recitation winner was Vanya Radav, a 10-year-old who recited the 1125 digits of Pi. Princeton Firefighters Honored For Service To The Community

The first Pi Day in Princeton was held in 2009 when resident Mimi Omiecinski called local organizations and businesses to put together the event. That year, Pi Day attracted 4,000 residents to Princeton.

Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159.

Pi Day gives math enthusiasts an opportunity to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and eat lots of pie.
