Maybe there's a faster way -- I hope so! -- but here's my answer:

n = 2^26
Timing[RealDigits[N[Pi - 3, n], 10, 20, 19 - n]]

67108864
{15027.922*Second,
  {{3, 3, 8, 6, 3, 2, 2, 0, 8, 9, 6, 2, 2, 3, 4, 0, 9, 8, 0, 3},
-67108844}}

hrMinSec[15027.922]
{4*"hours", 10*"minutes", 27.92200000000048*"seconds"}

4 for me?

Could someone calculate the number Pi to 67,108,864 (2^26) decimal
places
for me in Version 4 and post here or email me the last 20 digits or so.

I would do it but I only have Version 3 and it would take way to long..

I made the calculation in another program and would like to verify its
results. Thanks so much...
