How many decimals of Pi do you remember?

[Astronuc]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0802775624/?tag=pfamazon01-20 includes one million digits of pi

But in case you need just a few, here are the first ten thousand digits: - http://www.joyofpi.com/pi.html -

and you're in good company - http://www.joyofpi.com/pilinks.html


I had a friend in high school who memorized $\sqrt{2}$ to 200+ decimal places, because e and pi were to mundane. He used to come up to me at my locker and start reciting. We still keep in contact after 35 years.

I'm another 2 person -- there's too much other things to be doing to go any further

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

I have remembered so many digits of pi that I can't recall the exact count.

 

[Kurdt]

I can remember all the digits but not necessarily in the correct order.

 

[pimaster]

up to 50 digits

since my ast post i have memorized more digits, the last time i posted i told you i can remember up to 32 digits. I can now receit the first 50.

[mattmns]

I had a math teacher that said in grad school he memorized digits of pi to compete with one of his friends. Personally I know 3.14159

 

[pimaster]

who wants to make a wager...the bet will be " who can memorize the first 100 decimals of pi before the other person" lol

 

[siddharth]

I just say $\pi$. No worries about precision

 

[tribdog]

I say 3.14159265 but then I screw up and say 7 every time even though I know it's wrong. it's just stuck in my head that way. In a pinch I can recite pi to 3000 digits since no one I know can check whether I'm wrong or not

I just carry with me a gigantic wheel and a ruler at all times. ... this thread should be re-named "the official pi lame-joke-O-rama thread"

MY joke, Kurdt. That's MY joke!

In 10th grade I had a 12 digit calculator (1980's HP, the "sideways" kind). If you multiplied pi x 1000, then subtracted 3141, you got an extra 3 digits, for a total of 15 digits. I never bothered to memorize any more than that:
3.14159265358979

MY joke, Kurdt. That's MY joke!

Thats what happens when ancient threads are resurrected. I can't be expected to read all posts

Anyway it was a rather awful rip off of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQNYUJIW4sw".

and he's still reciting?

 

[Curious3141]

At last count, I remember somewhere around 200 digits of pi.

 

[Smurf]

It has a three in it, right?

 

[moe darklight]

and he's still reciting?

hahahaha

 

[gabee]

I decided to remember a few this weekend just for kicks...I have 3.141592653589793238.

Ha! I knew it!

 

[Astronuc]

and he's still reciting?

Yes - he still does it, but he's not quite so serious about it.

 

[tribdog]

Have you ever checked him? once you get three or four digits in you could make it up and no one would know. It's easy to fake being a genius, look at Smurf. I know a guy who mumbles numbers all the time.

 

[Astronuc]

I once gave him a piece of paper with $\sqrt{2}$ to 100+ decimal places. He would have me stand there reading the paper while he recited the number - he didn't fake it. He is now responsible for integration of instrumentation and protection (reactor safety) systems in modern nuclear power plants.

 

[tribdog]

Tell him to give up on the number and try reciting safety procedures in case of a melt down. priorities man

haha tribdog

 

[HungryFox]

Just to be a complete *******, I'm going to resurrect this post.

By the way: 3.141592653589793238 (18 digits)

 

[Monique]

Congratulations, I think we have a winner!

 

[Jimmy]

Does 10_π count?

 

[HungryFox]

No, Jim, 10π doesn't count. XD

 

[pzona]

I used to have a mnemonic system (thanks to my two study hall periods a day in tenth grade), and I ended up memorizing it to about 30 digits. The only ones I remember now are 3.1415926, which is still more than I'll ever need to use...

 

[Jimmy]

No, Jim, 10π doesn't count. XD

Doh!

as a lysdexic, I got very po'd memorizing these silly numbers only to find myself getting the last four digits mixed up at the ripe old age of 10. I gave up.

Then in college I discovered you were not supposed to list accuracy past a certain point because it was pointless.

I was very happy that I stopped.
