Happy Pi Day!

Sure, it’s corny, but math types need their holiday, too.
I’ll leave it to you to figure out precisely what time of the day corresponds to this approximation of π:

Mathematicians in 2000 calculated π to the quadrillionth digit and have found no repeated patterns, which would eliminate π’s standing as a transcendental number.
