Subject: Re: remembering PI to 10 places

In the past, I programed in FORTRAN, BASIC, PASCAL and C.  I often
used the following for PI:

Write down the first three doubly odd digits as:

11  33  55.  Divide 355 by 113 (355/113) and you get 3.14159292 which
is pretty close to pi.  Good enough for most work.  




Corrected a digit in second post.
