Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Decimal expansion of 2^(5^0.4) - 0.6 - ((0.3^9)/7)^(0.8^0.1).
%C By rewriting the expression without the zeros, i.e., 2^(5^.4) - .6 - ((.3^9)/7)^(.8^.1), we obtain a pandigital expression that is an approximation to Pi accurate to 11 digits.
%C This formula was found by B. Ziv in 2004.
