is eπ√163.

Interesting because it is almost an integer, and we can calculate it on the DM42. As it has 18 digits to the left of the decimal point, the DM42 is one of the few things able to calculate it.

(and yes, I blew my entry - Thomas has it correct).

You won't find this so-called 'Ramanujan constant' in the German part of the internet for reasons mentioned in the article you linked. Actually, it should be called Hermite's constant instead ... but his marketing was inferior to Martin Gardner's.
