Re: Do you know Pi?
pi = 3.1415926...
355/113 = 3.1415929... This easily remembered fraction differs from the correct value of pi by less than 90 parts per billion; that's close enough for any engineering activity I've ever been directly involved with.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
