Hawthorne students 'stretch their brains' for Pi
ELMHURST — Hawthorne Elementary School students competed in an infinite challenge last week — memorizing the digits of Pi.
The contest took place on Pi Day, an annual math holiday of sorts on March 14 in honor of the first three digits of the number, 3.14.
More than 75 students signed up to see how many of the number's infinite, never-repeating decimals they could memorize.
