## Git bisect exercise
### Motivation
The motivation for this exercise is to be able to do archaeology with Git on a
source code where the bug is difficult to see visually. **Finding the offending
commit is often more than half the debugging**.
### Background
The script `get_pi.py` approximates pi using terms of the Nilakantha series. It
should produce 3.14 but it does not. The script broke at some point and
produces 3.57 using the last commit:
```
$ python get_pi.py
3.57
```
At some point within the 500 first commits, an error was introduced. The only
thing we know is that the first commit worked correctly.
### Your task
Clone or fork this repository and use `git bisect` to find the commit which
broke the computation.
