Mu. -- Arturo Magidin PS No, it's not correct. There is no "last digit of Pi". Unless by "pi" he means something other than the ratio of the circumpherence of a Euclidean circle to its diameter.

It's a good thing the computer in the "Wolf in the Fold" episode of Star Trek didn't know your friend. -- Robert Israel israel(a)math.MyUniversitysInitials.ca Department of Mathematics http://www.math.ubc.ca/~israel University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada |
