    During the month of November 2016, the Swiss Peter Trüb used servers from his work to calculate the largest possible number of decimals of Pi. The feat allowed him to record no less than 22,459,157,718,361 decimals, bearing in mind that Pi is made up of infinite decimals, but the new record has surpassed 9 trillion.

    The record has lasted little more than two years, as today Emma Haruka Iwao has set a new calculation record with no less than 31 trillion digits in decimals of the number Pi.

    On 14 March 2019 ("The Day of π"), Emma Haruka Iwao managed to calculate the most accurate value for π known to date (2020), using 25 virtual machines and 121 days she calculated 31.4 trillion decimal digits.

    This proves that the life of Pi will never end

    Not better, just a tidbit.

    Pi is the approx. circumference of a 1 inch circle.

    (I say approximate because a circle's ends do meet but PI never ends, therefor the circle would never be completed.)

    Solve carefully!

    230 - 220 x 0.5 =

    You probably won’t believe it but the answer is 5!

    (Wish you all would let us in on the answer!)

    Pussycat meant because of "inch". (I hope so)

    Oh, I'm sorry, totally missed that!

    Maybe I should have quoted the scientific calculator;

    Circle Calculator

    Which doesn't use metric, but the Imperial 1 inch diameter circle.

    The circumference of any circle is Pi x the diameter. So the circumference of a 1 inch diameter circle is Pi x 1 inch which is Pi inches. Pi has a value of approximately 3.1415926535. However, 3.142 is probably sufficiently accurate, in which case, the circle’s circumference is: 3.142, which is Pi.

    So I guess the Canadians can understand;

    Pi equals the circumference of 2.54 cm diameter of a circle.

    (Hm, I guess it's easier to use 2,54 than 1)

    No, Pi equals the circumference of a 1 grubnaq circle.

    All educated people know that.

    :)

    Canadians understand that what you said is factually incorrect.
