Funny fact.
I guess for the rest of my life I will remember amount of digits in PI that fit screen of my MK-52: "3.1415926"
There was another topic about pi digits on front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40943437 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40943437, that remind me of it
- egorfine 2y agoSame here. MK-52 was my first and indeed I remember Pi exactly at this precision because of it. Cheers!
- quesera 2y agoInteresting that the last digit isn't rounded. I've always seen calculators render pi as "3.1415927" on 8-digit displays, and "3.141592654" on 10-digit displays. I don't recall playing math games to determine whether the internal representations were higher precision than rendered. Alas, wasted youth.
- egorfine 2y agoWow, your comment led me into the rabbit hole. After some googling I'm not sure now whether the right representation is 3.1415926 or 3.1415927.
