For if you were an astute student of mathematics, you would have realized that the value of pi as represented by this pie chart, represents not the actual value of pi, but rather the frequency with which pi is encountered in relation to all of the other pies listed. Since each and every one of these pies is usually prepared in a round crust, it would be a fair assessment to say that they all incorporate pi in their construction, thereby making the vast majority of them a subset of the pi section of the pie chart, which would render the proportion of any remaining pies infinitesimally small by comparison. :P BTW if any you should feel the need to have me whacked, please wait until after Christmas. Preferably after I've had some have apple pie, shepherds pie, and a healthy serving of lovemuffin pie... :D BTW @Case The blackbirds came from this nursery rhyme: Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye, Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. When the pie was opened the birds began to sing, Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king? The king was in his counting house counting out his money, The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes, When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

The blackbirds came from this nursery rhyme:

Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

And since the formula d=pi*r squared, then pi's actual "size" quantification would vary with every pie, same percentage, but different size. Anyway, regardless of math (always my weak point) it's still imperfect. Rage 0 and CMoorehead had the right idea.

No, no, no, this is wrong. Apple > shepherd's > Steak and kidney. Lemon meringue > 4 and 20 blackbirds. And to be technically accurate, Pi should be infinite, thereby making all other relative pie sizes infintesimally small... Wait, whut? No, no, no, this is wrong.
