How many digits of pi do you have memorized?
The first 5 to the right of the decimal point. Why? It's the unlock code for my DVD player to set the region code :) Rob Manderson http://www.mindprobes.net

8 (after the decimal point)

Somewhat OT: At university, once my professor mentioned his rule of thumb:
pi2 ≈ 32 ≈ 10

But why? For me, it's the number of significant digits on the first pocket calculator I had. (I had to subtract 3.14 to see the remaining digits - clever me!!)

20 (after the decimal) 3.14159265358979323846 I had to memorize it as a part of joining my fraternity :) When you were asked to recite it, you had to say it as fast as your mouth could possibly make the sounds.

This is silly, but the digits I know come from a Simpsons episode, where Lisa visits a school for "gifted children". Two girls are playing paddy-cake but sing this: Cross my heart and hope to die These are the numbers that make up pi. 3 point 1415926535897 [fade out...] The bad part is that I can't recite or type the numbers unless I do it at the same speed as the girls were singing it. ;) --Mike-- Latest blog entry: *drool* (Alyson) [May 10] Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber "You have Erica on the brain" - Jon Sagara to me

OH! Beat you ALL!!! 240! Before this year, it was 54, but then I met someone who knew around 90, so I just had to beat her... chaos ensued, ending with my victory at 240. All your base are belonging to US! w00t! OK, I'll calm down now...

I can remember 22 (Yay for me!) I learned that many from hearing my wife repeat it so many times, and reading over a sheet of Pi while she learned it. She managed to memorise 800 (Yes, Eight Hundred) decimal places. and she recited them in a local University competition, scoring herself an Apple Pie and a book :) My wife is way cool :rose: Phil
