22/7 IN 13 MORE YEARS.
14 IF YER ROUNDING.
A 'problem' with teaching by using
22/7 in grade school, is
it sticks but the actual value is different although
it is accurate to 3 digits. Then when squared for area calculation . . . . . . .
PI day indeed.

"But it’s not just any Pi Day. This year is the first time in a century that the date is 3/14/15, which describes the first five digits of pi, 3.1415. Mass elation will peak at 9.26:53am when the date and time will describe pi to 10 digits."
So why knot also at 9:26:53 pm?

Which means a digit was left out?
