Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Decimal expansion of an "almost" BBP type solution in base 20: a=Sum[(1/20^n)*(4/(10*n + 1) + (-2)/(10*n + 2) + (-3)/(10*n + 7) + 5/(10*n + 9)), {n, 0, Infinity}].

COMMENTS
The importance of such numbers comes from quantum cosmology: multi-universe theory. The idea is that other universe exist with just slightly different fundamental constants. This Pi' is off by -8.720461412092817*10^-6.
FORMULA
a=Sum[(1/20^n)*(4/(10*n + 1) + (-2)/(10*n + 2) + (-3)/(10*n + 7) + 5/(10*n + 9)), {n, 0, Infinity}].
MATHEMATICA
a = N[Sum[(1/20^n)*(4/(10*n + 1) + (-2)/(10*n + 2) + (-3)/(10*n + 7) + 5/(10*n + 9)), {n, 0, 200}], 200]; Table[Mod[Floor[a*10^n], 10], {n, 0, 200}]
