In the process of writing one of my scenes I arrived through tedious 
trial and error at a particular constant with a value of 0.28867519 
(plus an unknown number of additional decimals after the last place).

No matter to how many decimal places I manually determine the value, I'd 
rather know for sure *where* the number came from and *what* it 
represents. Is it a mathematical constant like 'e'? Is it the result of 
some trigonometric expression?

My question is, in your travels in the land of mathematics, have you 
seen this number before? Is it familiar to you? Have you arrived at this 
value yourself in past operations, and how?

I would post the entire scene (probably the only *real* solution), but 
it is fairly complex and I haven't received a lot of responses in my 
previous threads.

Anyway, thanks for any assistence.

Mike
