 * Well, If ya want to teach a potato pi (Idek) Then first you have to make it learn the essense of the pi theory.


 * Observe: ''Here potato... The number   π   is a   mathematical constant, the   ratio  of a   circle's   circumference  to its   diameter<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:20.3636px;">, commonly approximated as 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter " <span class="texhtml" style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-weight:normal;font-feature-settings:'lnum'1,'tnum'1,'kern'0;font-kerning:none;font-family:'NimbusRomanNo9L','TimesNewRoman',Times,serif;font-size:16.52px;line-height:1;white-space:nowrap;">π <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:20.3636px;">" since the mid-18th century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as " pi<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:20.3636px;">" ( <span class="nowrap" style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:20.3636px;white-space:nowrap;">/ paɪ / <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:20.3636px;">).

Also, <span class="texhtml" style="font-feature-settings:'lnum'1,'tnum'1,'kern'0;font-kerning:none;font-family:'NimbusRomanNo9L','TimesNewRoman',Times,serif;font-size:16.52px;line-height:1;white-space:nowrap;">π  is a transcendental number – a number that is not the root of any non-zero polynomial having rational coefficients. This transcendence of <span class="texhtml" style="font-feature-settings:'lnum'1,'tnum'1,'kern'0;font-kerning:none;font-family:'NimbusRomanNo9L','TimesNewRoman',Times,serif;font-size:16.52px;line-height:1;white-space:nowrap;">π  implies that it is impossible to solve the ancient challenge of squaring the circle with a compass and straightedge.'
