On March 14 at exactly 3:14 p.m., the Stanford University Physics Society and Stanford University Mathematical Organization cohosted their first annual Pi Day Pie-Eating Contest. Over 150 students and faculty attended, including math department alum and university president Jon Levin, who served as the celebrity judge.
Attendees put the pie in Pi Day at Stanford University.
When the buzzer sounded, five-person teams from each department competed to devour a full 4 lb, 12 oz apple berry pie as fast as possible. Physics claimed victory in just 3 minutes and 9 seconds, and their winning pie tin signed by President Levin is now on display in the Physics Department main office. After the competition, attendees enjoyed free pie and socialized.
