I don't believe them. Ask them to prove it.

Wow that's pretty impressive. I'm surprised no-one has bothered to break the record on a large cluster, at least for some time.
The previous record is 5 trillion BTW, calculated on a single workstation: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=221773
Edit: Oh after reading it properly, they haven't actually calculated two quadrillion digits, so the previous record still stands. I was pretty surprised by the huge number at first.

I predict the 3 quadillionth number to be....7.
I challenge anyone to prove me wrong

It was a 50/50 chance. I would have guessed 1. Guess I was wrong.
So it's only the two hundred and fifty trillionth denary digit? Wouldn't a whole digit have been more useful?
Hope they did a memtest first.
Haha, there are ways of verifying a pi calculation but I'm not sure about doing it only to a small portion of numbers like this.
