Ah, memories of Pi Week!
This was a very fun solve. Hope to see more from this contributor.
Great puzzle, thank you!
Impressive theme, by the way. I think the consecutive markers are vaguely in the shape of the pi symbol?
If you think about all cells touching the borders (shading the nine cells) you will indeed see a Pi symbol.
