It’s (Almost) Ultimate Pi Day!

Math geeks, rejoice – tomorrow is Pi Day once again, but this year it’s an ultimate Pi Day that won’t happen again for another century! (Non-math-geeks: March 14, or 3/14, is Pi Day – it corresponds to the first three digits of pi, 3.14; this year, 3/14/15, it’s extra-special because it includes the next two digits too, 3.1415.)

You can start counting down the seconds to 9:26:53… it’s a once-in-a-lifetime nerdy opportunity! While you wait for the exact moment to strike, you can pass the time with other number-heavy pursuits. Some enthusiasts will be busy calculating extra digits of the constant on custom-built rigs, while others might be running probability models for the top bitcoin casinos or writing python scripts to generate fractal art. However you choose to celebrate this mathematical milestone, just make sure your eyes are on the clock.

Happy Ultimate Pi Day!
