COMMENTS
With offset 1, decimal expansion of 4*Pi/3, the volume of a sphere of radius 1. - Omar E. Pol, Aug 27 2007, Sep 25 2013
2*Pi/15 is the common value of the base angles of the isosceles triangle formed at the common vertex of the figure obtained by gluing a hexagon and a pentagon, both regular, along a common side, as shown in the CNRS link. - Michel Marcus, Mar 06 2015
This is also the surface area (in some cubic length unit (l.u.)) of a sphere with a central cylinder symmetrical hole of length 2 l.u. Thanks to Sven Heinemeyer for reminding me of this classical astonishing result. See e.g., Bild der Wissenschaft, Januar 1964, p. 75, or the Gardner reference, Problem 7 on p. 51. In two dimensions things are different. See A258146. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 31 2015
