Why Does π Show Up in Places You’d Never Expect?

Imagine you're throwing a dart at a board. π shows up when you calculate the chance of hitting inside the circle, not because it's about circles, but because of how area and randomness work together. It’s like π is hiding in probability! You might also see π if you bounce a ball many times or even in your favorite music. π isn’t just for measuring pies!
