Solution – Puzzler V

Here’s a two part Puzzler that should be fun.  The answers are related and when you find out how, you’ll have a big clue. (There may be alternate acceptable answers to each part).

SOLUTION(S):

A)  What is mathematically special about the Zip Code for Savannah, Georgia?  I first saw this fact from another direction, so I didn’t realize that there are several Zip codes for Atlanta.  But they all start with 314, which are the first 3 digits of PI.  One of the codes is 31415 – the first 5 digits of PI – and another is 31416, which represents the first 5 digits of PI, with the 5th digit rounded up.

B)  What would be mathematically special about the St. Louis area phone number 314-159-2653? (Such a phone number likely is not allowed due to the leading ‘1’ in the 7-digit number.) As you have guessed by now, these are the first 10 digits of PI.
