What on earth is the saying 'easy as pie/pi' supposed to mean?
Which one is it for starters?
Also depending on who you are pie isn't that easy to make, I can't make pie from scratch...not that I've tried.

The other pi is even harder, I mean, as far as I know, pi is recurring.

Either way, pie/pi isn't that easy and certainly isn't easy enough to liken in to something being simple.

Any other sayings people just don't get if taken in a literal term?

If you try not to think on it too much, it's a piece of cake.

Though it sounds like you have a figurative speech impediment same as I do.

Just accept it I guess. If ifs and buts were cherries and nuts, we'd ALL have a Merrier Christmas I suppose.
