Pi is 3.14...and the Rest?
In the News
so the number pi has been calculated to a new world record length of 31 trillion digits:

just so you know 
Wow...and here I was thinking that pi was 3.142, but just looked it up on google to see ive obviously been rounding up all this time
yes it's 3.14159 something, something, something, which I will only remember briefly from posting this, and never use again 
ptenn00 I had a book that listed π to millions of places - it got very boring after page 3, I never did finish reading it 
davidstockport what book was that? it sounds like it is a good book to have a read through when I get those nights where I have trouble sleeping
ptenn00 I can't remember the title or whether I still have the book - I can't even remember whether I buried or cremated it.
It was one of those books that once you put it down - you just can't pick it up again.
I sometimes wonder how they can be so certain they've got it right - even the best calculators can't get things absolutely correct,
I'm sure that for every person who claims they have got it right, there are hundreds (if not thousands) waiting to jump on them to say they have it wrong (which reflects all parts of life I suspect)
"a new world record length of 31 trillion digits" I'd like to know how that can be verified: A trillion seconds is between 31 and 32 thousand years - so even if someone could check at the rate of 10 digits a second, it would take over 90,000 years to do so.
I'm not volunteering - I haven't got the time.
