Happy Pi Day, everyone! Everyone knows what time today to celebrate, right? Just a smidge after 1526 and 54 seconds. Remember the celebration for i day? Or did I just imagine that? Steve Greenfield AE7HD http://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenjgreenfield

Err I think you lost a 9 after the 3/14 15 - last I looked the value was 3.1415926535 etc. Not sure how you'd fit it to a time of day unless you go for decimal hour fractions. Dave

Assuming we use the first three digits, 3.14, for the date and the rest as a fraction, 0.159265..., of a 24 hr period, that would make the happy epoch at 03:49:20.527. Long past... slept through the whole thing. But wait, there's more! 9 Nov 2012, DOY 314, I'll be sure to wake early and toast Pi II. Bruce David C. Partridge wrote:
