Come on BKK and John Gabriel, you are both geniuses.
Show us how this series can be derived mathematically:

/* Nilakantha Somayaji Series */
π=3+4(1/(2⋅3⋅4) - 1/(4⋅5⋅6) + 1/(6⋅7⋅8) -+ ..)

Its not that difficult.
Hint: Start with the Leibniz' formula for π/4.

Maybe India will soon make it to the moon
via Chandrayaan-3. Meanwhile the Rest of the
World can even not explain this series:

/* Nilakantha Somayaji Series */
π=3+4(1/(2⋅3⋅4) - 1/(4⋅5⋅6) + 1/(6⋅7⋅8) -+ ..)

Come on BKK and John Gabriel, you are
both geniuses. Let it shine, derive the above
series, and show us that the Rest of the World,

hasn't become an idiocracy yet.

Still nobody?

Congratulation, they did it!

Congratulations to India for landing Chandrayaan-3
on the Moon — joining Russia, USA, & China as the
only countries to have achieved this feat. More
importantly, it’s the first mission of any country to
arrive near the Lunar South Pole - a possible
location for future Moon bases.

The moon is getting quite a dump now:
