Appromimately 1.772455923 (thanks excel).
Excel will let you carry it out to 14 decimal places:
1.77245385090552
Beyond that, you need some other software.
By the way, looks like our numbers aren't the same. I used sqrt(pi()).

I have always wondered if one can get to the edge of the universe and if there is one what would be there.
Beyond the distortion field, I have bad news...

I just used 3.1416. I knew that far from memory. You probably went out some more digits for pi.

"Since Pi is an infinitesimal number there is no exact square root..." Is it possible that you mean Irrational? :-)

Spi'ing on this thread?
Even 007 would need lots of glue .... "Bond, James Bond," he quoted dramatically.

Pi is an irrational (and transcendental) numberMy ex-mother in law was irrational and into transcendental medidation. Does that mean she was a Pi? I always thought she was a witch.

What would a DOG scan reveal? Nothing. The scanner would be too busy wagging its tail, trying to lick my face and so on, to do any serious business. :)

On a different tangent, did you know the banker refused to give the mathematician a car loan?
All the formulas were filled out correctly, but it seems he couldn't get a cosign, and then the errors multipied.

Pi is an irrational (and transcendental) numberIf I remember correctly, functions can be transcendental, not numbers.

and then the errors multipied. That really doesn't follow from the lack of a cosign. Errors would only multiply if in fact the loan were made, assuming that the mathematician were not employed at an investment banking house, or some facsimile thereof.
