The first 39 digits of pi allow you to do maths on the size of the universe in units the width of a hydrogen atom. Let's add one extra digit to deal with rounding errors. Pi may have more than 40 digits, but the others have no practical use in this universe. (Yes, you might consider them to be theoretically useful for things like number theory or testing computer components which do certain kinds of maths.) _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
