Maybe it's worth explaining after the Task description how the many digits of the reference answer were computed. Have you used this http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hmpfr with the Haskell analytical solution? --[[User:Bearophile|bearophile]] 11:22, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
: No, it was calculated using the same method as Haskell, but in C with MPFR, at 2000 bits precision. I only did it as an exercise to know MPFR, and the code was too messy to post here -- I got too bored halfway and stopped keeping track of memory allocation, so there are hundreds of lost memory chunks and valgrind was extremely grumpy about it, but I do believe all the digits I posted are accurate. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 20:06, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
:: If you want to create a D version of the analytical solution (using regular double or real floating point values), I will fix your code and help you with the D idioms. D has a garbage collector, so manual tracking of memory allocation/deallocation is usually not needed. Otherwise I'll eventually try to translate your Haskell code myself to D. --[[User:Bearophile|bearophile]] 23:07, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
