how about sherry with brandy sauce inside?

I suppose it depends on how hot Sherry is...

There is more than one way to find digits of Pi. For instance, it can be represented as the sum of a convergent infinite series that I can't remember right now. There's probably more than one series that works. Computer programs that find it probably have a more efficient method that I don't know about.

And then there's always the simplistic old 22/7 which is what I heard many many moons ago. I never tried working that out on paper though.

That's just an approximation. It's only good to two decimal places.

Yeah, 22/7 gives 3.142857 all decimals repeating, so yeah, that's only good to 3.14 Better to just use 3.14 anyways

The following poem by Adam Orr can be used to remember some of it:

Now I, even I, would celebrate in rhymes inapt,
The great immortal Syracusan, rivaled nevermore,
Who in his wondrous lore, passed on before,
Left men his guidance how to circles mensurate.

Count the number of letters in each word, and you will get 3.141592653589793238462643383279.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh jumping from left hemisphere to right hemispshere makes my brain hurt...

Hey look!!! Golden ratio!

Wait ! I found Pi to the 1 millionth decimal place... Page down through this and it looks like the Matrix
