Not just numbers after the 527th
editIn Shanks' publication there are two more errors:
- from the 460th digit Shanks writes: '834' ( 6th column, before-last row ), this should be: '962' - from the 513th digit Shanks writes: '193' ( bottom of before-last column ), this should be: '065'
And then the already known error:
- from the 528th digit Shanks writes: '50160...' ( bottom of first column ), this should be: '49463...'

- As Matt Parker pointed out, W.Shanks corrected this later himself: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rspl.1873.0010 itsme (talk) 13:11, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- I fully agree with that. How to insert this information properly into the article itself? Simply highlighting the errors in bold is not a solution in my opinion, so I reverted the last edit done by an anonymous user. --Uncopy (talk) 10:22, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
