That's all I know. Asimov said if you know it to this many places, (actually 35) you could figure the circumference of the known universe to within an inch. That was good enough for him (and me.) But that was back in the '60s. The known universe is much bigger now.

I tried to dazzle my students with this trivia one night and one of them immediately wrote it out to 100 places. I made sure he failed the course for his impertinence!

More trivia: Pi shows up in the measurement of the base of the Great Pyramid. Anybody know why?

I'd like to learn more about how to calculate this by hand. I'm going to build a pyramid in the backyard.... (no idea on the trivia question, by the way).
