Some Thoughts re(2): Puzzle Solution | Comment 5 of 7 |
(In reply to re: Puzzle Solution by Ady TZIDON)

Yes, I came across the same problem in a website with much smaller numbers so the choice of numbers are ABSOLUTELY  ORIGINAL.


Indeed, without rounding , the value of pi with the  first 13  digits after decimal point comes to:
3.1415926535897, and accordingly the choice of the numbers are precise  and any other choice of the 11- digit number would have been erroneous. This was  the raison d'etre of my comment on the puzzle is being a valid candidate for publishing on a Pi Day.

I EDIT commented on  my erroneous positing of the closeness of the number  to pi due to rounding , which must not be misconstrued as having any bearing whatsoever on the preciseness of number choice.
