Now we're just waiting for the doubles....

Did you count them?

Blimey! 
Just the shot for those 3D calcs.

Just updated my #PI constant, thank you!

One of those silly things that I remember from school days; over half a century ago!
Sir I have a rhyme excelling in mystic force and magic spelling
Celestial sprites elucidate all my own striving can't relate
Count the letters in each word. PI to 20 decimal places. I've not checked it so I might have forgotten a word...
Slightly more useful...
For an approximation to PI many people use 22/7 which is OK for estimating.
Try this instead:
Write down the first three odd numbers, writing each number twice: 113355
Split the numbers into two: 113 355
Divide the larger number by the smaller: 355/113
Not a bad approximation; about three parts in 10 million

I can't find an old program that was calculating pi by drawing and substracting a circle in a square. Very fun, in a few lines of code!

I p r e f e r p I (reads the same forwards and backwards)

Mmm? Which one? There isn't anything graphic?!Psychophanta wrote:Might be this ? :djes wrote:I can't find an old program that was calculating pi by drawing and substracting a circle in a square. Very fun, in a few lines of code!

Opps, no graphic there, but the second code posted solves lots of Pi decimal places.djes wrote:Mmm? Which one? There isn't anything graphic?!
