Dope. I just memorized it to 50 digits. Good to know for my intents and purposes it doesn't matter at all anyway.

Hey, cheer up, it doesn't matter for anyone's intents and purposes.

No no no. The error compounds every time you math so if you math a lot at 40 digits you might end up with like 30 digits of correct precision. Totally unacceptable. Literally unplayable.
