A true Pi day only happens every millenium. Did you know that?

Please elaborate.

 

I was expecting you to say that. A true Pi day only happens on the fifteenth year of every millenium, but only if you exclude the time. So, in reality, I mistated that. It should have been "A true Pi day only happens once a millenium, excluding the time".

Well, then, shouldn't there only be one true pi day?

 

March 14, 1592, at 6:53:59 AM?

 

In that case, we're a couple of centuries late.

 

You have a point. I wish I had been born sooner.

 

Edit: Wait, wouldn't it be "March 14, 1592, at 6:53:58 AM"? After all, Pi= 3.14159265358...

Actually, yes. My calculator only went to ten digits, and it rounded up, so when I tried a trick to give me more digits it obviously messed up, and when I tried to fix my mistake after checking your number in the topic, the server went all freezy on me.

 

And I think it would be at the 59th second, as the number sequence you put is 589, so the 8 would be rounded up...

 

The nine hath been removed from thine peripheral vision, sir.

I said "Pi" at that exact moment. 'Cept I was using military time.

Doesn't the number of digits in Pi go on infinitely? It's been calculated to ten thousand places so far. So how can we be sure of an exact date that matches it?

 

'Cause every time they calculate it the first three digits are the same...
