%N A121601 Decimal expansion of cosecant of 22.5 degrees = csc(Pi/8).
%C A121601 Also, decimal expansion of 2*sqrt(2)*cos(Pi/8).
%C A121601 1 + csc(Pi/8) is the radius of the smallest circle into which 9 unit 
               circles can be packed ("r=3.613+ Proved by Pirl in 1969.", according 
               to the Friedman link, which has a diagram). csc(Pi/8) is the distance 
               between the center of the larger circle and the center of each unit 
               circle that touches the larger circle.
