In engineering school, back in the coal burning days, the original 4-function calculators became

A sufficiently good approximation of pi for any exam could be had taking the string 113355
Splitting it:? 113? 355?? and then dividing:
355 / 113 = 3.141593

And getting 6 digits or accuracy from two 3-digit numbers
is rather insane!? I always loved that approximation._,_._,_
