Someone recently came up with an algorithm which would calculate arbitrary
bits of the value of PI, as in binary digits. So you could calculate the
trillionth place 0 or 1 without all the intervening bits. Should you find
a use for it, the article was in several digests, so I assume you can look
it up. I didn't.
One can find that already on wikipedia,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi
For example, the quadrillionth bit of pi is zero, as it turns out apparently.

Best, :-)
