      Description

      What reads like requirements for Evaluators on PI sounds vague to me:

      "Evaluators are not required to represent pi exactly , but they should make an attempt to give an accurate result given their numerical representation method. Evaluators which use a fixed-length numerical representation should use the closest possible numerical representation."

      I don't think either of these represent meaningful statements. Suggest delete.
