This is a pretty cool idea. Too bad it’s not generally useful.

Way to have fun with the spam... Why not find a way to have the spam comments contribute to the calculation too? Convert their posts to numbers and use them for Knowledge...

It’s a helluva lot better than looking at heavilly distorted images, squintingly trying to figure out what strange symbols that machine is trying to make you copy into plaintext.

I’m just leaving my numbers here.

Is it wrong to wish that you had a graph of the current calculated values vs. the number of entries? (I want to see it asymptotically approach the value dangit!)

Good idea, Daniel. I’ll see if I can make a graph.

This is a really neat idea. Probably not the fastest way to calculate Pi, but it should be an interesting experiment. I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Very cool, can’t wait to see how random our numbers really are.

And so much fun! Fantastic. Looking forward to the graph... ;-)

WordPress should now forward the fact that you entered numbers to the comments page, so that you can see the current pi estimate.
