The precission of math.pi is not suitable for this task. It only shows 15 decimal places. Try to find an other way to get the required precission. Remember that input format is defined as: 0<N<1000

ok - no problem. An other way would be to use the mpmath library, which is also avaible in playground. With .dps you can set the precission to a defined length: from mpmath import mp mp.dps = 100 print(str(mp.pi))

This was the only code coach challenge I haven't solved for python and after all sorts of ways I ended up just getting the 1000 digits off a website and creating a string!! Feels like cheating!!! I tried the BBP formula to get nth digit but got no where with that!!!
