Sorry. I only have it memorized to 3 decimal places.
Quick: If the machinists asks to cut another 0.05 mm off of the flange face, how deep does he need to move the machine to make the old gouge shallow enough so a flexatallic gasket doesn’t leak at 1150 degrees steam at 2600 psig?
If the opposite side of the valve was trimmed -0.25 mm, how much shorter is the total valve, given a tolerance of +/- 0.002 total length?
What day of the year is it in a leap year given a decimal date of 2016.3452, and - more important - what is wrong with the following data?

Come on. Square roots and theoretical math definitions of geometry don’t impress me.
Everyone knows square roots, I’m only interested in round roots. So there. ;’)
BTW, thanks for the ping to this topic — I guess the humanities have been finished off long ago in higher ed; we already know that physics and science are of no importance, just indoctrination into the poisonous fiction of AGW; and now math is being discontinued? That’s what Common Core appears to be primarily there to do.
Well, the sum of the values in the second and fourth column equals the value in the third column, but with an irregular discrepancy of 0.00000020 which I would attribute to somehow taking the first column as values linear in time, which is an error since these values describe a DATE which increments by one day in each row, whereas the raw value increments by 0.0027 or 0.0028.
As to square roots, I don’t suppose it bothers you that you are turning up your nose at Gauss’s construction of the heptadecagon by finding a solution in radicals ( i.e. square roots, recursively applied ) to the 16th order cyclotomic polynomial.
