...Last year’s date — 3.14.2015 — was especially significant because it matched the first four digits after the decimal point. This year, some math lovers have already started calling 3.14.16 “Rounded Pi Day,” rounding up those four digits...

 

 

I can understand that; round pie is more geometrically pleasurable. :D

 

Although does anyone else get that argh moment when they see MM/DD/YYYY formed dates? I prefer the DD/MM/YYYY form or even better the ISO 8601 format YYYY-MM-DD... makes file organisation so much easier! But hey pie, like ice cream, is good. :D

I prefer the DD/MM/YYYY. It seems to make more sense to me as:

 

Days < Months < Years

 

["<" here meaning less than, or shorter than]

 

So the date reads as items of increasing length.

Late Pi Day link:

 

Link: Raspberry Pi 3 Calculations

 

First time anyone has streamed pi over the internet as it's calculated on Pi Day!!!! Streaming begins at 12:00AM GMT on the 14th March 2016.

 

Using a Raspberry Pi 3

 

Update: After 26.5hrs of calculating I was cleaning up my pi workspace I bumped the power supply and had to restart the program.
