A supercomputer built with off-the-shelf parts by Gregory and David
Chudnovsky,
brothers and
number theorists. In
1989 m zero calculated 480 million digits of pi (from Gregory's
apartment). They hold a handful of world records for calculating the most digits.
"Pi is a damned good
fake of a random number. I just wish it were not as good a fake." - Gregory Chudnovsky
