As a Brit I celebrate it on the 3rd day of the 14th month
- mavhc 3y agoNot the 31st of April?
- tomgp 3y agoI mean now you mention it that might make more sense, but we're a simple people bound by our traditions.
- alsetmusic 3y agoThis genuinely made me happy. May the Fourth be with you! Wait…
- NeoTar 3y agoI celebrate Pi-approximation day on the 22nd of July
- zeroonetwothree 3y agoEvery day is pi-approximation day. It’s just a question of how good the approximation.
- colimbarna 3y ago3.14 is about 0.00159 less than pi, whereas 22/7 is about 0.00126 greater than pi, making pi approximation day closer to pi than pi day.
- noman-land 3y agoThis is the research I come here for.

- simondw 3y agoSure, but by undershooting you can simply wait until the time is 1:59:26.53589793 to celebrate.
- lapetitejort 3y agoThe day 1131/12/30 yields 3.1416 repeating.
- lapetitejort 3y agoAccording to my calculations, the most approximate Pi ISO day expressed literally is 311/9/11 = 3.141414... Of course 311/11/9 also works 132/3/14 = 3.142857142857143. Not bad!
- xgkickt 3y agoA 355 day lunar calendar would allow for 355/113, which is pretty good.
- 725686 3y agoThat would be February 3rd, no?
- tempodox 3y agoAn apt comment on the horrid US-ian date format. Although the international notation, YYYY-03-14, which is de rigueur for political correctness, would side with the 14th of March.
- Sohcahtoa82 3y ago> YYYY-03-14, which is de rigueur for political correctness I like it just because I can use it in filenames and sort by name and I'm guaranteed to get it in chronological order.
- NikkiA 3y agoI celebrate it on the 31st of April, like normal people.
