The portfolio of 6,000 patents was auctioned to realise some value from the assets of bankrupt telecoms firm Nortel.
During its bids, Google picked numbers including Brun's constant and Meissel-Mertens constant that were said to have "puzzled" others involved in the auction. When bids from rivals hit $3bn, Google reportedly bid pi, $3.14159bn, to up the ante.
