LIMESTONE, Maine (WABI) - Pi Day is a big day for the Maine School of Science and Mathematics in Limestone.
Students tried to recite as many digits as they could - but one stood above the rest.
Ari Anghel of Windham was the big winner, rattling off 500 digits of Pi!
It gets even better - community members were encouraged to pledge donations for each digit, benefiting the MSSM Foundation!
This fundraiser raised $27,000 for the foundation.
Ari received a free dinner for themselves and a friend at a restaurant of their choice.
