Easy as Pi
How many digits of pi do you remember? Do you know pi to a thousand places? Whatever you know, write it down right now, before reading any further. I’ll wait…
Still waiting…
Can’t you write faster?
Done? Okay.
This will be our first memory challenge for all who want to participate!
Now, since this is for personal growth, and no prizes will be awarded, please don’t cheat!!!
Here is how much of pi I can remember: 3.14159265358. I’ve only recently been able to count the last 8, as for a long time, I ended at 5. I used to remember it to more places.
Here it is to 25 decimal places:
3.1415926535897932384626433
If you want to go further, here is pi to a billion digits.
In the comments, enter pi as you wrote it down earlier.
For the next ten days, use the techniques mentioned in my Improving Your Memory in Just Minutes a Day post and see to how many digits you can memorize pi.
We’ll check back again in ten days and see how everyone is doing!
3.1415
Love that white and nerdy vid. Me? 3.14159 For some reason that always stuck for me, like a some sort of number rhyme.
You liked the Segway too, didn’t you?
That’s actually the first video I bought on iTunes. Well, I bought a three-pack. It had “White & Nerdy” as well as “Don’t Download This Song” and “The Saga Begins.”
Anyone else going to join in? C’mon, y’all want to amaze your friends and bewilder your family by knowing pi to at least a dozen or so places, don’t you?
I can go to 3.14159265. I stop there because knowing more than 9 digits is just nerdy!
Joanne doesn’t think there is anything wrong with that.
