"Why does pi have this awesome continued fraction" is exactly how a professional mathematician would ask the question.
- roywiggins 4y agoYeah, I changed my comment around to try and say that- the question just becomes "huh, why does the big integer 292 show up like that?" which is really the same question as before. Maybe the answer is "that's not actually that surprising", I don't know.
