Starting with the pendant as 3, the student carefully strung the beads in a circle (clockwise) according to the following mapping:
Thus, you can read off 3.14159265358, and so on. A truly thoughtful, creative, and inspired work! I think the student’s original inspiration might have been this other pi-themed necklace.
