50g shoot out of various Pi programs:

Skip to the bottom if you want to see the winner:

Scroll down a bit on this link to see the 50g calculate Pi using Archimedes's 96 sided polygon:

Most of this is C code, but you don't need to compile the code yourself, you can simply download and play with the binaries:

Thanks, Egan!

An alternative Pi Day will fall on 22-07 (Jul 22) here, right on my 47th birthday :-)

Best regards,

Gerson.
