About a year or so ago, I was told of this site, Project Euler. Unfortunately I didn’t get into it back then, but an email from a mailing list that I’m apart of re-sparked my interest in it. In case you haven’t heard of it before, here is the description of it from the site:

Project Euler – Coding For Fun and Knowledge
Thursday, December 17th, 2009Happy Pi Day
Friday, March 14th, 2008Today is the day where we celebrate all the digits that make up Pi, even the numbers we have yet to discover.
My only question is, why do we celebrate the entire day? That is not granularity for me. Using the rest of the decimals after the initial 3.14, has anyone sat down and calculated the exact second that we should be celebrating on that day? Millisecond? Microsecond? Nanosecond? When can we know what picosecond it is?
Enjoy the day everyone (or picosecond if you wish).
