My head hurts Grab an asprin for this one then. A computer can calculate exactly the digits for PI (The ratio of the diameter of a circle to it's circumfrence). Each digit shows up in a non repeating formula which cannot be determined until that digit is actually calculated, but the calculation is exact for an exact physical quantity and completely repeatable if someone else wants to perform the calculation. (There are an infinite amount of irrational numbers with the same property). TP
