Researchers compute pi to 1.24 trillion digits at Tokyo University
A team led by Professor Yasumasa Kawada at Tokyo University with nine colleagues and a Hitachi supercomputer spent over 400 hours in September to calculate pi to 1.24 trillion decimal places, exceeding the previous Guinness record by more than sixfold. The effort aims to improve calculation methods, though such precision has no practical use.

The 1999 shootings by Marc Lepine led to Canada’s gun control push, with a 1995 law requiring gun owners to register roughly 7 million firearms by Jan 1 2003, now extended six months for early applicants.
