Calculated 10,000 billion digits of Pi number

Japanese IT specialist Shigeru Kondo is about to be named in the Guinness record when determining the value of Pi constant to 10,000 billion digits.

The last digit of Pi is 5

Accordingly, there were a lot of school-educated students working to find that important constant, but ultimately just an approximate number associated with student students was 3.14. But a Japanese IT expert Shigeru Kondo and an American student Alexander Yee spent more than a year to "enlarge the size" of this number.

Last August, he set the record for calculating Pi with 5,000 billion digits. And recently, he quickly broke his own record with the result of calculating the Pi constant of 10,000 billion digits.

There was a time when Mr. Kondo's computer room was hot to 40 degrees Celsius because computers and computers had to do so for more than half a year when they could not solve problems that were too complicated.

Kondo's wife, Yukiko, told Kyodo News , "We can dry up immediately, but pay $ 390 in electricity every month."

Mr. Kondo, 56, is an engineer working at a food company in Nagano Prefecture, northern Japan. He assembles his personal computer to perform a constant Pi calculation with a 48 terabyte hard drive.
