Recreational mathematics puzzle: is there an interesting number that is approximated by today's date, 14.3?

@julesh It is exactly 1/10th of 11 * 13

So I'm pretty sure today is tenth-of-a-badly-squared-dozen-day ?

@julesh You could write it as 14/3 to approximate Feigenbaum's constant 4.6693… (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feigenbaum_constants).

how about 13 with a 10% tip? it's exact, not an approximation, but... 13 is a very interesting number, isn't it?
