How many other constants have you memorized? e? phi? sqrt(2)? and you know all those to 5 decimals? When I conduct interviews I try really really hard to set aside the things that I know and give candidates an opportunity to tell (or show) me what they know. Someone not having a constant memorized is not a show stopper, as I am after the logical thought processs.
