			<description>As today is Pi Day (3/14 or March 14th) you may post interesting problems on circles or interesting facts about Pi in this topic.



Note that I will be updating the Geometry forum today with several circle problems. For now feel free to discuss



I'll begin: 

One of the closest hand calculations to Pi, calculated by Indian mathematician Ramanujan, is (81+(361/22))^(1/4). Plugging this in to your calculator will leave Pi accurate to the 8th digit.   </description>
