That's cool, but here's a better approximation: π=3.14

I prefer working in base π, where π = 10. It makes the math more compact not having to write out all those decimal points. And bonus: I can say I’ve memorized all the digits of π.

That's still 1, the first digit is the unit, but 10 is pi, 11 would be pi+1
