Incorrect

I googled the one I made up after and it has been used before (:() but none of the first page results were wikipedia so I figured it was ok
bloopy
6 Dec 2007, 02:02
Hmmm, Wikitivities then? It's hard to imagine there's much in the way of interesting activities to do on a Wiki, apart from the usual editing. :p

Wikilove

Because nobody loves wikipedia.

Wikiality?

nah, i know that exists because it's a colbert word

it's wikiqutte - matt you have to work on making these less obvious, because that one doesn't even make sense (etiquette is spelled with an e after the u and it's hard to pronounce besides)

Whoops I spelt it wrong putting it down but it's real

Should I count that as one for PB or do you guys want to bore yourself out guessing which one I actually made
bloopy
6 Dec 2007, 22:04
Yeah, give it to PB... you suck at making things up, except by spelling things wrong, but then even "Wikiqutte" returns results on Google. :p

After approximatly 550 Million iterations, how many decimal places had it accuratly calculated Pi to?

550 million.
Alien King

Even worse.

You're being far too generous.
Pigbuster
11 Dec 2007, 20:03
One hundred.
Alien King
11 Dec 2007, 20:04
By far, the closest guess, but still a good distance off.

Hint: It's small enough to be able to guess the exact answer. :D
Pigbuster

Seventeen.

Even closer. Still off though.

Supsuper is the closest. In fact, if nobody guesses correctly soon I'll declare him the winner.

And Splapp has gone the wrong way :p.

Futureworm wins.

Indeed: after 550 million iterations of this sequence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_formula_for_pi), only 8 decimal places of Pi had been accuratly calculated.
