Prof. Rosenhouse : Was wondering if you had ever heard of the Chudnovsky brothers (or met them?!), written about in the book "Panic in Level 4: ... Journeys to the edge of science". They are two russian born geniuses who built a supercomputer in their apartment in New York with the aim of finding the order in Pi. Believe they won the Macarthur prize (?). It's a great story!
