A few years back, mathematicians developed an algorithm that enables them to find the next digit of pi from any point you wish to begin. Thus you can determine what the 3,204,178th digit is without having to find the first 3,204,177 digits.

There is a web page that will give you the first 1 million digits of pi, but that wastes a lot of bandwidth.

Much better is this web page, with its catchy tune:
