No hand held calculators in the 60's! ;D
Cranio, I remember someone showing me a formula and when it appeared it said shell oil! :D

I do remember that if you didn't have a Pi key (I didn't!), you could always generate it by dividing 355 by 113.
It was easy to remember because it was just the first three odd numbers duplicated:
113355
Split it in the middle
113 355
and divide the bigger number by the smaller and you get
3.1415929203539823008849557522124

I could do with a formula for Shell oil right now, just had my heating tank refilled :(
Darwin:
Not a formula for Shell oil, but one that if followed may yield a cheaper and altogether more cozy way of heating your home:
62 O2 (g) + C52H84O22 (s) --> 52 CO2 (g) + 42 H2O (g)
;D
