Interesting 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 display

I don't recall playing math games to determine whether the internal representations were higher precision than rendered. Alas, wasted youth.
