Work through encoding π ≈ 3.141592653 with the peg method.
3141592653 → 31 41 59 26 53 → moth, rat, lip, nacho, lamb.
The story: under a giant π, a giant moth carries a rat licking its lip — then a cheesy nacho is nibbled by a woolly lamb.


Chunk the ten digits into pairs and pull each peg:
| Pair | Sounds | Peg |
|---|---|---|
| 31 | m·th | moth |
| 41 | r·t | rat |
| 59 | l·p | lip |
| 26 | n·ch | nacho |
| 53 | l·m | lamb |
Now link them: a moth carries a rat, 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.)
