    Both times would be excellent for celebrating Pi Day, as would any time during the day. People consider celebrating Pi Day at 1:59 since the first few digits of pi are 3.14159, so they would be celebrating on 3/14 at 1:59.

    Hide the amount of soccer balls that correlate to the next digit in pi. If, for example, you've hidden 3 baseballs, 1 hat, 4 boxes, and 1 stuffed animal, hide 5 soccer balls to stick with the digits of pi (3.1415).
