SOLUTION TO LAST MONTH'S QUIZ
1. 22/7 ( = 3.1428571 ...)
2. 333/106 ( = 3.1415094 ...)
3. 355/113 ( = 3.1415929 ...)
Notes.
Easily solved by means of a computer program (using variables of suitable precision).
Alternatively, using a pocket calculator, multiply PI by n with n = 1, 2, 3, ... , and whenever the result is close to an integer m (either above or below), test m/n - PI.
For example, PI * 113 = 354.999969 ...
And 355/113 - PI = 0.00000027 ..
