Countdown to Pi day



Just a heads-up so you can plan accordingly…

This year, 2015, is a special year for Pi Day enthusiasts. In the mm - dd - yy format, Pi Day, which is March, 14th, will be written as, 3 – 14 – 15.   These are the first 5 significant digits of Pi (3.1415).

But wait, here’s where it gets interesting: On this day, at 9 AM, it will be the first 6 digits of Pi (3.14159). So this will be the Pi Hour.

There’s more: Twenty six minutes later, it will be the Pi Minute, reading… 3-14-15, 9 hr 26 min (first 8 digits of Pi 3.1415926).

Still more: There’s a Pi Second!... Yes, its 5 seconds later when we get to the first 9 digits of Pi (3.14159265).

Hold on!...next comes yet another dramatic Pi Moment … by expressing the fractional part of the Pi Seconds in the form of decimals… 5.35 seconds… we get up to 11 digits of Pi (3.1415926535).

But now comes the ultimate Pi Day moment in the history of the Universe. By extending the decimals infinitely, as per the digits of Pi, we will pass through the Perfect Pi Moment…
