This is a question Old stuff I still know

Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

What's sad...
Is that I knew most of the way through and was checking your numbers!

"Physics for you" textbook
You missed some of the digits off the end... The next ones are 41971693993751058. The number, to 52 decimal places, was the clue to 38 across in the mechanics crossword in the textbook we had, in 1992. Memorising it seemed more interesting than doing real work. Still got an A!
