But this dude is the REAL OG:

He ate all the pi : Japanese man memorises π to 111,700 digits

Akira Haraguchi, 69, is a legend among memory masters, having memorised more of pi’s digits than anyone else. Here he talks about why he does it and how he will be celebrating pi’s big day

If that's true, it's probably fake. I'm only kidding :-)
But that's a good reason also not to memorize pi
Someone else has already done so!

I hope that President Trump will save us all those pesky digits by declaring pi to equal the integer 3, for purposes of efficiency.

I'm surprised and disappointed that Church Norris didn't already get that done for us, given his overall and fabled magnificence.

No doubt if President Trump does that, and whips pi into shape for us, some on the Left will complain and then start lecturing us about "the science." "Ooooh," they'll say, "pi is irrational ... it's the science." Yada yada.

Interestingly, if he tried that, President Trump would not be the first to declare (albeit by implication) a "legal" version of pi. Some state legislator once tried it, too, and even got a favorable response from (of course) a "Committee on Education."

I believe the state was Indiana, and it happened a few years before the turn of the century in 1900 (the year, not the time). Of course, some professor had to step in and spoil the fun. I'm not sure if he was a Canadian, but you know how some professors are: ever-so-picky!

MPSA! Make Pi Simple Again!

At the very least, state legislatures should consider declaring it to be a rational number -- perhaps 22/7, which is easy to remember and has the lucky number "7" for its denominator. Do it for the children! I think children should be studying the Sicilian defense, rather than memorizing 100 digits of pi.

Edit: I just remembered that President Trump's son, Baron, is reportedly very, very good at math. So, my hopes just dropped for getting pi perfected any time soon. We're probably stuck with all those digits. Why did President Trump's children all have to be so bright?

3.141592654
eleven digits i guess
i used to just press pi on my calculator and stare at it until i had it memorized lol

In some interest classes in China, we might be required to memorize 100 decimal places. But I can only remember 40 of them. Maybe I could remember more before.

We will use some scene pictures to assist in memory retention. For instance,
“At the summit of the mountain stands a temple, with a pot of wine beside it.”
The meaning is“ 3.14159” This approach employs Chinese pinyin.
“ san dian yi si yi hu jiu "
=“山巅一寺一壶酒”
=“三点一四一五九”(The capitalized numbers used in Chinese)
=“3.14159”

@SREYASSAI haha. Your 10000 (20 x 5 x 10 x 10) digits of pi are just measly compared to the amount memorized by Suresh Kumar Sharma, at 70,030 digits. And, I bet you got that off google.

@DreiSanKosinus. I understand Chinese and that's a nice trick I never learned in my school...

I'm really happy to see that Chinese culture is spreading to the world!There are still many interesting ways of memorizing things and other novel elements in China. We sincerely invite you to visit China one day!Best regards to you, my dear friend

I have goldfish memory so I only remember 3.14....lol
