Work through encoding π ≈ 3.141592653 with the peg method.
3141592653 → 31 41 59 26 53 → meat, rat, lip, nacho, lamb.
The story: under a giant π, a rat sits on a slab of meat licking its lip — while a woolly lamb nibbles a cheesy nacho.


Chunk the ten digits into pairs and pull each peg:
| Pair | Sounds | Peg |
|---|---|---|
| 31 | m·t | meat |
| 41 | r·t | rat |
| 59 | l·p | lip |
| 26 | n·ch | nacho |
| 53 | l·m | lamb |
Now link them: a rat sits on a slab of meat, licking its lip beside a nacho a lamb is nibbling. Replay that scene and you've recovered 3.141592653. (The leading "3." is just π's whole part — everyone remembers that bit.)
