%N Decimal expansion of Hoffman's approximation to Pi.
%C The expression (Googol/11222.11122)^(1/193), with Googol fixed as 10^100, approximates Pi with an absolute error of about 5.4e-11. The 'symmetry' of the denominator, the fact that 193 is a prime, and the fact that it relates Pi with Googol make it a rare curiosity.
