::::Hmmm, It does generate the digits o Pi in sequence. There is an abort button on the calculator, but I don't know whether it works midflow. By replacing the desktop calculator with one that uses a bigger display to get more digits and supports abortion midflow. The GUISS solution would fit the task. The limitation is with the tool provided, rather than with GUISS. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 09:11, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
::::Maybe a "limited solution" marker would be a good idea. (Similar to the "incorrect solution", that reads something like 'The solution provided does not meet the exact specifications of the task, due to limitations of the language or its subcomponents. The author has tried to provide an "approximate fit" solution based on those limitations'.). I know there are other tasks on the wiki, where the solutions are an approximation, rather than an exact fit. This might be quite useful. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 09:45, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
:::This is not strictly true. The underlying concept
:::: Don't give him ideas. Now someone will come up with a "solution" that prints 3.14 and claim it's correct because the program sleeps a billion years between digits. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 19:02, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
::::: That'd not be answering; that would be being a smartass. No need for that sort of stupidity. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 21:14, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
