Pi is 3.1417 not 3.1416
I agree with zona... simply brilliant, I didn't get it but it's amazing the way you put that together!!

Awesome job - I'm humbled, I didn't look at the hint and didn't get the right answer. I enjoyed it greatly.
This one was good! Nice job!!!
Couldn't the answer have been "fistful of dollars"? Cute, though
Strange you mention that -- it came to me while I was writing this, so I changed two of the amounts to include change.
But I still think it's a great interpretation! Keep up those second responses!

funny, I only paid attention to the total, not the exact amounts! Makes sense now
I needed the hint.Math was never my strong point.....but I feel smart now!!!!! YAY!!!!digits=fingers=HUH????
LOVED IT!!! Great one please keep these coming
That was very well done.
Just to clear up misinformation from ac3 the value of pi is approximately 3.14159 to six significant figures which rounds off to 3.1416 as the hint correctly stated.
It is okay. Not my favorite, but thanks for posting.
