How precisely do you know the value of pi?
Pie? Where? 5%  5%  [ 4 ]
I get by with using pi = 3. 0%  0%  [ 0 ]
3.14 - like most people. 39%  39%  [ 31 ]
3-6 digits - it's good to be accurate. 33%  33%  [ 26 ]
7-15 digits - I try. 9%  9%  [ 7 ]
16-50 digits - I REALLY try. 6%  6%  [ 5 ]
51+ digits - I've spent countless hours mastering the value of pi! 9%  9%  [ 7 ]

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.

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

3.14159 for the win!

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..
