First there's Pi Day. Then there's Pi Approximation Day. I wonder what comes next.

Pi-is-a-fraction Day, but that's only celebrated by crackpots. :-p
 
I'm suddenly inspired to write a Pi recipe book...

Mmmmmmm. Personally, I'm hungry for some Blueberry Pie Right now.

......Ahhh. PI...delicious!:biggrin:

If 3/14 is Pi-day, then 7/22 should be called (1/Pi)-Approximation day... following the way dates are written in the US.
This is for those of us who celebrate Pi-day on the 31st of April. :biggrin: Essentially, the complement of the US set.

But since there's no 31st of April, I guess we'd have to settle for 30.9999...th of April instead? Also, today will never end...

Hey guys, get ready: it's almost "Square root of 53 day"!

Oh, and talking about square roots, we can't possibly let the "Square root of 2 day" be forgotten.

Will the year 3141 be approximate pi year?

3142 :wink:
 
We can also have an 'e-day'. Look at poor [itex]\imath[/itex], it never gets to have a "day"...unless someone can come up with a clever idea. [No, (I)ndependence Day does not count]
 
happy pi approximation day + pi * 0.31831 day day
