Simon is scoring the accuracy of the approximation: log_10 |pi-355/113| is -6.57... Scoring the 'complexity' or 'information' of the approximating expression seems to be a matter of taste. Rich ----------- Quoting Dan Asimov <dasimov@earthlink.net>:
----- 355/113 is 6.57 decimal digits -----
Please explain how the / is .57 digits.
(More seriously: Where does the 6.57 come from?)
