Très cool. https://xkcd.com/1047/ says that 75^4 is approximately the number of seconds in a year.
y=: */ 365.2425 24 60 60 y 3.1557e7 75^4 3.16406e7 o. 1e7 3.14159e7 y %~ 75^4 1.00265 y %~ o. 1e7 0.995531 So it's not quite as good an estimate, but to say "there are approximately π times 1e7 seconds in a year", how cool is that?
