    Vice[^]:

    The world-record calculation by Swiss scientists now marks the last 10 digits of pi as being 7817924264.

    3.14 ought to be enough for everybody

    OK, fine. 22/7.

      Is that Jenny's real number?

          I prefer 113355 which is mnemonic for 355/113. easy to remember and precise.

                There're validation tests you can do to see if you're right much easier than running the whole calculation a second time. Ian Cutress (Anandtech) has been ranting on Twitter because while the people involved claim to've done the verification they haven't published it yet. :doh:

                Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius
