I reckon we can get another "holiday" out of this one, because 22/7 is
approximately 3.142. IOW, it's slightly more than Pi. So, strictly,
the correct Pi day for those in DDMMYY-land is 21st July, because
(quickly reaches for a spreadsheet), Pi is more accurately
21.99114858/7. Now 0.99114858 equates to 23 hrs 47 minutes and 15
seconds to the nearest second, so Pi day is 21st July, and Pi second
in DDMMYY-land is 23:47:15 on 21st July.
