<ul><li>The claim that Ramanujan’s conjecture that exp(π√163) is an integer had been proven was an April Fool’s joke in 1975.</li><li>Calculating exp(π√163) by hand would be tedious but not impossible, even without a computer.</li><li>The algorithm uses a series to calculate exp(π√163) and involves choosing suitable values for r and n.</li><li>The book 'Mathematics by Experiment' by Jonathan Borwein and David Bailey provides more details about this hand calculation approach.</li></ul>
