From: http://www.kaidy.com/PiReward.htm Alas, someone already won the contest with a remarkably elegant submission. rwg, you'll just have to calculate faster next time. Magic of 355 / 113 355 / 113 is a 99.9999% accurate approximation of pi. 355 / 113 = 3.1415929203 pi = 3.1415926535 The difference = 0.0000002668 Can you find a BETTER fraction to more closely approximate the value of pi? The first one to do so will earn a reward of $500. (NOTE: The fraction you submit must be simplified to lowest terms, so not exactly equivalent to 355 / 113, and the numerator and denominator must each be whole numbers.) Click here to see if someone has come up with a BETTER solution. And from the "winner" page: We have a winner! John McKiernan was the earliest to submit 6,283,185,307/2,000,000,000. Thank you to all of our other participants.
