I win! If I use the same date format (21081972) for my birthday, I don't exist in the first 200 million digits!

Or, wait. Does that mean I lose?

Happy Pi Approximation Day. It's March 14 (3.14) at time of this writing.

The next Pi Approximation Day (International) will be on 22 July (22/7).

Why celebrate only once a year when you can do so twice at no extra cost.
