Shortly after 2:29 p.m. EDT today, the U.S. population clock will reach a milestone that is very meaningful to mathematical statisticians: it will show there are 314,159,265 residents, or pi (3.14159265) times 100 million. Pi is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. “This is a once in many generations event...so go out and celebrate this American pi,” said Census Bureau Chief Demographer Howard Hogan.

根據美國統計局的人口時鐘,美國人口局(Census Bureau)於周二達到314,159,265,這是圓周率Pi的首9個數字。

對於數學迷來說,這是一大話題,人口局還專誠出了新聞稿。

當然,人口局的統計也只是基於一些假設,並非實際的人口數字。它假設每8秒有1名嬰兒呱呱落地,每14秒有一人仙遊,及每46秒人口因移民淨流入已增加。
