While the pies are usually delicious, this batch was not for consumption (even by hungry students, for those who suggested it!) but we feel they were used in a fun way to make people think about mathematics - perhaps some people who would not otherwise take an interest... To mark Pi Day we instead donated £314 to a local charity which helps feed people in crisis.
If you'd like to make a donation, here are some suggestions:
Matt is a supporter of Depaul UK, helping young homless people. You can donate through their website: http://www.depauluk.org/
Numberphile's donation was to a local group which does not have online donation facilities.
However here are some other options...
http://www.wfp.org/
http://www.foodcycle.org.uk/
http://www.napsoc.org/
Contact us with any others you'd like on the list!
Numberphile also raises money for cancer research if you'd prefer - donate here: http://www.justgiving.com/numberphile-charity
Special thanks to Pukka Pies (for the pies), Notts Country FC (for hosting us) and the football channel Copa90 (for helping us out) - http://www.youtube.com/user/Copa90football - plus James Hennessy for being second camera!
