| subject: | PI - irrational or not? |
I was reading an article in today's (11/3) Australian that said they've discovered that PI is actually a rational number. Apparently is has only (?!) 2,075,932,542,102 decimal places. At work we've come up with several theories: 1. The article is true 2. The article is an April fools joke that's a couple of weeks late 3. (my suggestion!) There's a bug in the computer program that didn't manifest itself until it had calculated 2 trillion numbers. Any ideas what the real story is?
