How accurately do you know one of the most important numbers in the world of mathematics, physics, and engineering?

I only know it as 3.14 - I have no need to know any more digits.
Gone, forever.

I know it permanently to 5 decimal places as it is the manufacturers code on my DVD player that I use to evily watch many different regions of DVDs with. It's a fantastic inside joke XD

3.14, since I am not a math person and have no need for it in my daily life.

3.14, pretty much what everyone else said. No reason to learn further into a number that has no conclusive end, as, chances are, you will never have to go further than the first couple of digits..
CLICK IT!
Thanks to Laq.
