Once-in-a-century Pi Day 03/14/15
mouser:
Woo hoo!

We in India, where date is written as dd/mm/yy, could have had our PI day next month, if April had 31 days.
31/4/15 9:26:53
Keeping the time before also requires us to wait till 2065 at least.
3:14:15 9/2/65
No PI for us, now :(
AbteriX:
Nearly :(
Renegade:
There's always 06/28/31 8:53:07. 8)
xtabber:
Pi is an irrational number and can only be represented in decimal notation as an approximation.
In the case of Pi, rounding (3.1416) provides a better decimal approximation than truncation (3.1415).
I conclude therefore that next year's Pi day (3/14/16) will be a closer fit than this year's Pi day.
