Several days ago I put forth a challenge to the interwebs. Specifically, it was a challenge for nerd supremacy known forevermore as the first ever Interweb Gangster Pi-Off. The contenders: West Coast, and East Coast. Up for grabs: bragging rights, and the title of Nerdiest & Gangsta Pi-iest Coast. That’s right folks, the battle was on. With a simple post, a veritable cross-country royal rumble of epic nerdliness was launched. The world would never be the same.
Anyway, without further ado, I present to you all of the pictures that I received in the first ever Interweb Gangster Pi-Off (up until Midnight on Pi-Day). Thank you to all who participated (whether coerced or not). The level of nerdery that is displayed here is almost too much for this man-nerd to handle. Almost!
Oh, and given that this was a challenge, there clearly needs to be a winner (although everyone is a winner on Pi-Day1). The final tally:
- East Coast Gangsta Pi: 28
- West Coast Gangsta Pi: 2
- Special Mentions: 2
Clearly, the East Coast reigns supreme. Better luck next year West Coast.
I hope everyone had a safe and happy Pi-Day. And an extra High-Pi to all who sent in photos. Much appreciated.
Special mentions: these are creative entries that didn’t quite satisfy either East or West Coast Gangsta-Pi styles. However, that does not mean that they aren’t still awesome.
1 Because Pi-Day is all about celebrating our collective awesomeness. Okay, maybe I just made that up. But it sounds like something people can rally behind. w00t!

I am blown away by all the gangster pi photos. And a little bit disappointed in my west coast brethren and sistren. Clearly next year I need to employ more coercion.
Congratulations, East Coast Pi Gangsters, on your well earned victory!
I was amazed at the response too. I loved that my class joined in on the fun. Hilarious. They groaned a bit when I suggested it to them, but they were completely into it when I was taking the photo. Awesome.
This is awesome. Just awesome. Congrats to the East Coast :). Getting the class together… haha, too much! You seem like you’d be that math prof that’s way too into his subject, but everyone secretly loves it :D.
