Happy Pi Day

Today is 3.14 or in the math world it's Pi day.  Don't ask me to explain that to you because the last math class I took was my freshman year in college.  However, for my friend Torry who owns the tutoring company, MasterMinds Learning Center, Pi day is kind of a big deal.

So in the spirit of "redesign that," Torry called me up and asked me to redesign that mathematical equation of 3.14 into a greeting card to be sent out to the parents of his students on Pi day. 

I first thought about PI.

Wait not Magnum PI, I meant the actual equation of Pi.  And I had to Wiki it because I don't remember a darn thing except it's 3.14 and then a ton of other numbers that never stop repeating.

Then I finally saw something I understood. PIE

Which led me to my all time favorite, quirky movie about pie, Waitress, starring Keri Russell.  If you haven't seen it you need to Netflix or Redbox this immediately!

And I know, you don't personally know my friend Torry, but he is super smart, especially when it comes to Math and one tutoring session at MasterMinds Learning Center will really make any subject seem as:

With that in mind, I decided to redesign that mathematical problem of 3.14 repeating into a greeting card for parents.  I will make sure actual pies and the symbol for pi are on the front of the card with an all American red/white checkered tablecloth.

With all the talk about pie it definitely makes you hungry for a delicious slice.  Don't worry because the best part is the cross promotion that MasterMinds Learning Center is doing! When the parents open the card they will find a coupon for a free slice of pie from a local restaurant, Ashley Mac's.  Genius! What do you except from a guy who runs a tutoring company?  And trust me, if you are in the Birmingham area and need tutoring you need to call Torry or if you need pie call Ashley Mac's  either way-you won't be disappointed.
