Two quadrillionth digit of π ...

has been just computed. That is we know as of now the 2,000,000,000,000,000th digit of the ever mysterious π and it turns out to be ... 0 ... Quite a let-down one would think. However this news, which hit the media last week (check here BBC commentary) is certainly of some interest, even if none of us probably bit his/her fingers waiting for this moment in suspense.
