Can you get pi from e

I got this one from rec.puzzles. If you want to see some great answers, the link is part of the title.
Using only the constant e (the base of natural logarithms, 2.71828...) a
dozen times, plus addition, multiplication, subtraction, division,
exponentiation, and parentheses, create an expression that comes as close as
possible to the value of pi (3.14159...). Other operations or constants are
not allowed (no roots, absolute values, imaginary numbers, etc.). The
constant e must appear exactly twelve times.

For example:

(e+e+e+e+e+e)/(e+e)+e+e-e-e = 3

Which differs from pi by less than 0.15. I'm sure than someone can do

Only three are good friends

Four friends were shown a number. Here's what they had to say:

Andy: It has two digits
Betty: It goes evenly into 150
Cathy: It is not 150
David: It is divisible by 25

It turns out that one (and only one) of the friends is lying. Which friend lied?

It's a gas

A woman was found dead in her room with the windows and door locked from the inside. She had died from being gassed. The gas fireplace had been left on. She had been seen entering the room by her sister. It was assumed she had accidently put the gas on and forgotten to light it and the death was ruled accidental. But, in fact, her husband had killed her. How did he do it?
