Pi Day Pie Data - Challenge Brief

Challenge period: March 2022 Dataset: Reconstructed brief based on the shipped data file for the March 2022 DataDNA challenge.

About the data

The primary data table for this challenge carries the following columns:

  • Order NO
  • Order Date
  • Month/Yr
  • Day of Week
  • Pie Flavor
  • Quantity
  • Cost
  • Slice Or Whole Pie
  • Pre-Order/In-Store Purchase
  • Organic?

Suggested analytical angles

  • Which pie flavour drives the most revenue?
  • How does pre-order demand compare to in-store walk-ins?
  • What weekday-by-flavour patterns emerge across Pi Day week?
  • How does organic sourcing affect cost and preference?

What great submissions did

This brief was reconstructed from the dataset contents in 2026 as part of the Playground audit. The original March 2022 challenge brief was not preserved as a separate file in the source archive, so the analytical angles above are inferred from the column list. See the corresponding /challenges/ entry on datadna.onyxdata.co.uk for examples of how participants approached the data.
