Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Heh, funny. What other good numbers are there to use?
I suspect having version 3 followed by 3.1, then 3.14, and so on up to 3.1415926[...] would be TOO obvious, and make the whole thing too "cutesy".

So are there any other kewl only semi-famous numerical constants one could use in stead? (Avogadro, Planck...?)

Oh well, maybe the whole notion of copy-catting the idea is too pathetic in the first place... :-(
New There are several.
Pi is good because it's 3.x. e is good because it's 2.x. If you need a 1.x, then the next obvious is phi (the golden ratio), 1.618.

You could use square roots of 2, 3, 5 for 1.414, 1.732 and 2.236.

Others that look good are Sierpiński's constant is 2.585, Lévy's constant is 3.276, Feigenbaum constants of 4.669 or 2.503.

Wade.
