It is Ultimate p Day! Every math geek should be happy of this momentous occasion.
Pi Day is celebrated every March 14 (3.14), matching the first three numbers of p.
But Ultimate Pi Day is celebrated every 100 years, when the most numbers in p (3.14159265358979323846264338327950288) correlate with our date and time (9 23' 53"). This is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, except if you're 117-year old Misao Okawa, world's oldest person, because the next Ultimate Pi Day will be in 2115.
Wow, the most numbers in p is really long!
So keep an eye out for 9 26' 53" !
