Everyone have a good Pi day?

This is when I always make sure to check my radial tires.

I guess that's an American holiday -- in most of the world 3/14 would be the 3rd day of the 14th month.

Huh?

What is the 14th month?
We only have 12 months in a year.

Is it the Additional Incentive Salary Bonus Package we received every end of the year?

A really good blueberry pie is transcendental!

I don't know, I suppose that depends on what you mean by most of the world. In East Asia, which has probably 1.5 billion people, 3/14 would be March 14, because they count in the order year, month, day. In the same way, an address is written in an order like country, state, city, street. Maybe you meant, "in most of Europe." I have no idea how they do it in African languages or in say Hindi.

Well, the third day of the fourteenth month would be an irrational holiday.

The reference is to the order of the month, day, and year. In the U.S. it is usually MM/DD/YYYY (Month/Day/Year, and there can be other separators). Elsewhere it is DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD. I've always thought YYYY/MM/DD made the most sense. It sorts correctly, after all.

Pi R squared?

No, pi are round. Cornbread are square.

We had cherry pie at 10:59, pretending that the 0 wasn't there. It turns out that a quarter pi is an eighth pie.

JOOC, why not 1:59? at tea maybe

I read somewhere that if you had a circle nearly the size of the universe, say 15 billion light years in radius, and you used just the first 10 digits of pi to calculate the circumference of that circle, then the error (caused by using *only* 10 digits) would be less than 1 meter.

And yet we know the value of pi to many millions of digits.

Billions, actually. At least 1 billion digits.
