Permute Pi To Make Phi

There are only a handful of truly legendary numbers, like 0, 1, and Euler's Number. And there are only 10 digits from 0-9, so it would make sense that we can shift them around to see some interesting things... right?

Sometimes it feels like too much of a coincidence, like being able to take the reciprocal of Pi and permute its digits into the reciprocal of the Golden Ratio. Not enough for you? Tack on another Pi digit and throw it in front of the reciprocal of Phi and you'll get the actual Golden Ratio's digits.

HOW CAN THIS BE A COINCIDENCE?!
