In personal correspondence regarding the area of the Mandelbrot Set, he pointed out the possibility that the area might be precisely sqrt(6 pi - 1) - e. He found the value with a program he had written for the specific purpose of finding formulas for numbers. I later wrote my own such program and found other formulas of roughly equal complexity that came just as close to the known area values.
