    According to Wolfram alpha, diameter of electron divided by diameter of the universe is 3.2*10^42

    Pretty sure 21 digits is not enough. More like 42 digits

      Ah yes, the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

      How many digits of pi are necessary to calculate the diameter of the visible universe to within the diameter of a single electron?

        It being the same number as some book is just a coincidence, but if the difference in size between universe and an electron is 10^42, then you literally need 42 digits of pi too.
