    Well I'll tell you. If you split the digits down the middle you can make two numbers. 113 and 355 Then if you divide the larger by the smaller you get a very good approximation to pi. :) Accuracy up to 7dps. I just thought this was so neat and easy to remember I had to share it with you all :-D No more of the pathetic 22/7 its 355/113 for me from now on. Ant. I'm hard, yet soft.
    I'm coloured, yet clear.
    I'm fruity and sweet.
    I'm jelly, what am I? Muse on it further, I shall return!

      PI * 107 is a nice approximation for seconds in a year

        Neat, that is pretty close. :-D Ant. I'm hard, yet soft.

          "I studied physics for five years, and all I got was this lousy approximation" :rolleyes:
