Posted on Jul. 5, 2004 by Jody

Mathematicians Stunned when Computer Reaches Final Digit of Pi:

“We just wanted to get to 1.5 trillion places,” said Kudo. “We intended no harm.”

Kanada’s team has volunteered to continue building on pi by generating random numbers, but the mathematical community seems to feel it wouldn’t be the same.

So what is the final digit?!
