Hilmar,
Take the first 3 prime numbers - 1, 3 & 5
Double them - 113355
Cut them in half - 113 - 355
Divide 355 / 113
You get a good start on Pi...
>1) Take a three-digit number (example: 317). Repeat it, to get a six-digit number (example: 317317). Divide it by 7 (you will get no remainder!). Divide the result by 11 (no remainder!). Now, divide the result by 13 (again, no remainder. Also, you get the original number back, example: 317).
