Be There or Be Square
Pi Day celebrations commence all day on March 14th, with some events lasting several days to a week, but there’s a designated start time for the party for those who want to be extra precise and incorporate as many of pi’s digits as possible when it’s not a Super Pi year. It also makes for a fun countdown.
Party time commences at 1:59 pm to tack on an extra 3 digits and make it 3/14 1:59, matching the first 6 digits of pi. If you’re operating on military time and want to capture that once-a-year screenshot of pi time, this is your friendly reminder to set your alarm for 1:59 am.
