[amused] Now this is my kind of day. Do you think all two billion discovered digits of pi are here? Oooh, what if there were undiscovered digits? I wish I had the time to check.

Oh sweetie please, lets tone down the geek shall we? Geek chic was not created with you in mind.

This whole Pi to a billion thing you've got going on or whatever. There are more important things in life.

Except that the castle's only been changing for a day lately. [chuckle] And today's March 14th - matches 3.14. Otherwise, you'd be right.

[quiet laugh] Very good point.

Mind, I can go very fast if I want to.

Well, and I'm not entirely certain where we'd get a list of them - two billion digits would probably take up a fair bit of space.

Really? [oh, you've piqued her interest now, Doctor]

The numbers are making my head hurt.

I think it's a rather nice decoration, really.

[grin] You mean you never hung out with Newton back when he was alive? Dropping an apple on his head sounds right up your alley.

Two billion?

Discovered by a pair of Russian brothers living in New York who built a supercomputer in their apartment.

I didn't know that. I learnt about some of pi in class, but only the first eight digits.

The first eleven digits had been discovered by the year 1400. There's any number of ways to calculate it, of course.

Why am I not surprised?
