This is either incredibly geeky, incredibly cool or more likely a combination of the two.
Saturday is, as you’ve no doubt heard, “Pi Day.” March 14th, 3/14, 3 … 1 … 4. Pi: 3.14
It is also 2015, which makes it 3/14/15. 3.1415 is Pi to the fourth decimal.
Here comes the cool part (and if you’ve read this far, thank you).
Saturday at 9:26 am, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is going to announce its admissions decisions. That’s 3/14/15, 9:26.
Pi to the 7th decimal?3.1415926.
Pretty cool.
