Wouldn't a better title be, "An accurate approximation of pi"? Not as clickbaity though....

  > "Not as clickbaity though...." Not as accurate, either, given that the title of the paper is "Get Billions and Billions of Correct Digits of pi from a Wrong Formula," and it was published before "click-bait" was a thing.

    Perhaps that means this paper invented click-bait.

    Click-bait has long existed as headlines and movie and novel titles.

  It's not clickbait. The article is genuinely interesting, and the title is quite relevant to why it's interesting.
