OK, that gets us to 3/1 but where does the '4' come from? If you want
to count 4am, then you have to ignore the leading zero, even allowing
for not using leading zeros in the day and month that doesn't feel quite
right.
At least with the American version you can have 3/14 15:00 before the
sequence breaks down... Or, 3/14 20:00 if you decide to round up the
third decimal place.
I guess you could go to 3/1/4159 but that's a bit of a wait to have a pie.
