Slightly off-topic, but Pi Day is coming up -- and the countdown to 2015 (the mother of all pi days!) continues. Of course this is a bit artificial -- one has to use 2-digit year format and use decimal fractional seconds to cconfect the auspicious moment. Which presents a nice challenge that the members of this list are more than up to .... Depending on the notation system one uses, how many other pi- friendly moments can one confect? -p > Type: Party - Holiday Party > Date: Saturday, March 14, 2015 > Time: 9:25am - 9:30pm > Location: Across the world! > Description > Yes, the time is upon us.
