Sometimes, when you try to view some videos in Youtube, you would have received an message “This video is not available in your country”.

In such cases, this trick may be of some help.

Let’s say http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abcdef12345 is your video URL, where abcdef1235 is the unique video id generated by Youtube.

Modify this URL as follows

http://www.youtube.com/v/abcdef12345

Enter the modified URL in the browser to view the restricted video. Now you will be able to watch the video.

This trick may not work for all videos. Not sure about the reason behind this. But this trick works for most of the videos.

Have fun!

PI is an interesting Mathematical constant (PI=3.14159).

PI constant is something special.

• PI is an irrational number. That is, its value cannot be expressed exactly as a fraction m/n, where m and n are integers.
• Its decimal representation never ends or repeats.
• It is also a transcendental number, which means that no finite sequence of algebraic operations on integers (powers, roots, sums, etc.) can be equal to its value.

We all know the value of PI is approximately 3.14159. This is the approximate value of 5 decimal places.

Do you know the value of PI with 2000 decimal places?

David Webb had created a python script which will create this value.
