True, true.

If we look past the inconvenient 2016 year, today “is” 3-14.

After 3:00 pm, it will be 3.1415.
At 3:55 pm, it will be 3.141592

BUT! At 15:55:35.529232556568 hours this afternoon - that is,
at 3:55:35.529232556568 seconds in the afternoon, it will be
3.141592653589793238 , rounding off a few millionths of a second.

Ah, but is that GMT or Lima? If it is celebrated as is New Year’s Day, then it would be local time.

I chose to treat the .159... as a fraction of the day making it occur at 03:49:20 give or take a few shakes of a cesium atom.
