Thanks for that! This is an interesting formula for calculating the Nth digit one at a time ( to get the old value as you say ):

Just curious if anyone else here has looked at alternate derivations of Pi based upon Phi - given that there really should only be one universal curvature constant for space-time? I thought I would present this here before I write-up my full formal illustrated proof and find an audience for it: http://vortexspace.org/display/~integral54/Closed-Form-Derivation+of+Pi+fr om+Phi Basically I claim that the starting digits of Pi are 3.1446(...) http://goldennumber.net/phiformulageometry.htm I have received reports that certain people at NASA already know this and are already using this new (corrected) value of Pi.
