Swiss researchers at the University of Applied Sciences Graubünden this week claimed a new world record for calculating the number of digits of pi--a staggering 62.8 trillion figures. By my estimate, if these digits were printed out they would fill every book in the British Library ten times over. The researchers' feat of arithmetic took […]
