The glee of (geek) children

This AM my younger informed me that he has named a pet stuffed cephalopod "Octo-Pi".

He carefully explained that this means "pi to the eighth" but confessed he's having trouble calculating it. I offered to help him with that tonight; I hope he's in a mood to accept approximations.

I am familiar with that as the chances that two numbers are relatively prime. It was cool to lay it out and realize those are one and the same.
