It's 14/3, which is a rather bad approximation to pi.

I'm waiting for 22nd July myself.

Why "rationalize" waiting that long when you can achieve real Pi-related satisfaction a few minutes after 3 the afternoon of 31 April? (If you leave off the year, that is).

Sounds fun, but first we need to decide who gets to be Cowboys and who gets to be Endians. (Or do you folks in the UK prefer West vs. Eastendians?)
