%N A138335 Positions of digits after decimal point of number Pi where the approximation 
               to the number Pi by a root of a polynomial of 2 degree does not improve 
               the accuracy.
%C A138335 If there is a set of consecutive numbers in this sequence starting at 
               k, this means that k-1 is a good approximation to Pi.
%C A138335 If the set of successive integers is longer that approximation k-1 better 
               (see A138336).
%C A138335 Comment from Joerg Arndt (arndt(AT)jjj.de), Mar 17 2008: Does Mathematica's 
               N[((quantity)), n] round a number (if so, to what base?) or truncate 
               it? Is Mathematica's Recognize[] guaranteed to give the correct relation? 
               I do not think so: that would be a major breakthrough. That is, this 
               sequence may not even be well-defined.
%e A138335 a(1)=19 because 3.141592653589793238 (18 digits) is root of -3061495+674903*x+95366*x^2 
               and 3.1415926535897932385 (19 digits) also is root of that same polynomial 
               -3061495+674903*x+95366*x^2
