Happy Pi Day (3.14)

Although Pi has been calculated to one trillion digits, this approximation of the number pi:


3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971


is adequate to calculate the circumference of a circle the size of the known universe to an accuracy of +/- less than the width of a hydrogen atom.
