Similarly, in the hospital as I was recovering from peritonitis, the nurse was skeptical of my 1-10 pain rating of pi.

I'd be skeptical too. There's no way your pain sensitivity is finely calibrated enough to give 3.14 as an answer, never mind 3.1415..... ;)

There's no way your pain sensitivity is finely calibrated enough to give 1.00 as an answer, let alone 1.0000.... ;)
