Devotees of Siteswap, the Church of the Wholly Math, love their numbers as much as the possibly resulting patterns.
Here are the first five digits of the mathematician's humble Pi, tossed:

Fortunately, it is a wonderful pattern, especially to commemorate Pi Day each March 14th,


...which date, supplying digits '03/14' made into a site-swap as:

[edit] 3401

...would be:

Java not available
...a pleasant drill for learning the '-34-' problem that occurs in other site-swaps.


Which is combined (more or less) with:

[edit] 603

Java not available
...to give us the above Pi pattern (with more of '1', and less of '0').

One of the miracles of Siteswap is that of combining so many numbers,
and still having only three.


The next two approximations, '3.14159' and '3.141592' do not work.
For site-swap.
Working away anyway, one can jack around the decimal portion, however, to get 4-ball:

[edit] 14195

...which turns out to look quite nice too.
Or might, if anyone could do it, to see.

There is commonly that problem with site-swap: getting it off paper, and the animator, and into the air.
To start our subject pattern, you will begin as '63141'.

For another version of the digits, see 64113.
