> Maksymilian Piskorowski found that if you happen to have a spare eight 9s, you can compute 𝑒 = (9/9 + 9^(-9^9))^(9^(9^9)), which is accurate to a little over 369 million decimal places.
Sure, because 9/9 = 1 and if you take x = 9^9^9, you get back (1 + x^(-1))^x, i.e. the first formula. It's cute, but I don't know if you could call it a "discovery".
