In the link JRace provided we find:
"A third one comes from the theory of complex multiplication of elliptic curves, and was discovered by S. Ramanujan. This gives a number of beautiful formulas, but the most useful was missed by Ramanujan and discovered by the Chudnovsky's. It is the following (slightly modified for ease of programming): "
This is probably what you were challenging others to find in your previous post.

@Pete, I've read about Chudnovsky too, but as long as I can't put Ramanujan into a computer program, it'll stay where it is. Its formula is even more complicated.
I'm all about calculating PI myself, and not competing with the freaks who use supercomputers.
By the way, Pete, do you know y-cruncher? If yes is ok, if not - try it out. But watch what you do.
