Why does every circle hide the same number?

Pi's Infinite Ride
Why does every circle hide the same number?
Every circle you've ever seen — pizza, bicycle wheel, planet, pupil — ~~hides the exact same secret number inside it~~.

Every circle you've ever seen — pizza, bicycle wheel, planet, pupil — hides the exact same secret number inside it. Not the size, not the radius, not how many slices you cut. Something weirder.

Here's the mystery. Take any circle. Measure the distance straight across the middle — that's the diameter. Now wrap a string around the outside edge — that's the circumference. Do the division: circumference divided by diameter. You always get the same answer. Always.
