What is the answer given by ChatGPT? I don't use it so no idea what it will come up with.

I never used it up to now.
But I have the feelings that it could solve the thing, if it's a real a correct equation.
Maybe it will be difficult to enter it correctly.
Nowadays the new technologies and advanced informatics are quite similar to Magic.

Using Excel to calculate it via the midpoint rule (1000 steps from 0 to 1) yields:



The answer of the integral is (-) negative but the digits should be correct (-2.98128429611488). It now probably depends on whether "the husband" has taken the most significant digit (2) into consideration or not. So, could also be:
9812
98128
981284
9812842

I would just go with digits of PI,
but my choice would be to get her to calculate PI - THAT SHOULD FOX HER.

And, why go further than NASA -
How many digits of pi does NASA use?

15 digits

For most calculations, NASA uses 15 digits: 3.141592653589793.

there again, the record for remembrance of PI is 100k places.

Any B4Xer could do better.....

I am pretty happy that it's going to settle down with the first 12 digits being 298126694400 ?

and, based on that result, it's at 45761 steps that it settles down with the first 7 digits being correct

For calculating that particular 7-digit PIN, would be simpler to use 355/113 ?

Would be far too easy for here to get the pin - the longer she takes to figure out the pin the closer it gets to time for the shops to close and the less she can spend. Then, in the evening, you change the pin and in the morning give her a new integral to solve ?
