This Fun Friday post will appeal to all of the math geeks out there.  You will know that every year we have a little fun celebrating PI Day: March 14th.  Do you need to ask why?  Because it’s 3.14!

But this year is EXTRA SPECIAL.  Because (as I’m sure you know), the next two digits in PI are 15.  And of course, the date will be

3/14/15!

James T Kirk but wait theres more

The next few digits can be used to define a PARTICULAR TIME on PI Day where we will match FIVE MORE digits:

9 26 54 (the last set rounded from 535)

If we are looking for a global standard, I’m going with Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).  So at 9:26AM and 54 seconds GMT (or UTC in French) we will be at

PI Day to 10 significant digits!!!

You might say there should technically be a zero before the 9.  But go with me here.

Set your calendar and plan to enjoy this once-in-a-century moment with a pause of reflection.  Or maybe a party.  What would you serve there?  Why, a pi pie of course!

pi pie

I’ve set the countdown timer on this website to correspond to the exact moment.

What will you do then?  Tell me about it in a comment below!  Who cares if most people think it’s silly?  We appreciate that it means something special.  Especially geeky at least.

Oh, I almost forgot.  Want to know what a few more digits of PI are?  Here you go.
