The Babylonians are credited as
having recorded the first value for Pi (around 2000 BCE) and they used (25/8).
Ludolph Van Ceulen (1540 - 1610) spent most of his life working out Pi to 35 decimal places.
In 1947 it took ENIAC 70 hours to calculate 2037 digits of pi.
9/1/2010, Shigeru Kondo, a Japanese systems engineer and Alexander J. Yee, an American computer science student, have calculated the value of pi to five trillion digits - setting the new world record for the most digits of pi calculated.

Pi is the most delicious number. Except maybe for 12½
