I Could Do This...

...I just didn't want to.

Yee recently calculated 116, 580, 041 digits using algorithms he obtained online.Yee said he fiddled with his program until its speed was unparalleled. The difficulty lay not in using the algorithm, but in using it efficiently. With more speed, Yee could have calculated even greater than 116,000,000 digits, but he was eager to break the world record.

Yee couldn't find the 108,000,000 digits found formerly by Gourdon and P. Demichel, and thus could not compare his results with theirs. To verify his own results, he calculated the constant to 16,000,000 digits twice using two completely separate algorithms.
