Pi

[Russell Morris]

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. Any slip ups and you had to funnel a beer and start over. -- Russell Morris "Have you gone mad Frink? Put down that science pole!"

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

My wife beats you so bad... :-D See my post below....

I think it's because it's like a long distance US telephone number: 1-415-9265 - Nitron

More like a US social security number now that I think about it: 141-59-265 (that's how I say it in my head) - Nitron

Hehehe, yup, that I was! But in regards to the game consoles, no chance there :(. My parents said they would rot my brain or something :confused:. So instead I just play computer games! But yes, there are some perks—not in the least among them having my first computer be a Windows 95 machine and my first programming environment be Visual C++ 6.0. :cool:

As a follow up, I think someone who has an "XSLT and XPath Quick Reference" guide on his wall, as well as a large poster showing all the units for the various factions of Galactic Battlegrounds—as opposed to the typical teenage swimsuit calendar, band poster, etc—doesn't quite fit that notion of reality :-D.

scoring herself an Apple Pie and a book I would rather go and buy an apple pie and a book rather than memorize 800 decimal places of pi :-D Thomas My article on a reference-counted smart pointer that supports polymorphic objects and raw pointers

I had to fire up notepad to figure it out, but I know 20, and surprisingly haven't thought about it _at all_ in 15 years. Weird. David

Nerd! Nerd! :D (OK - so now I'm feeling inferior - I admit it ;)) cheers, Chris Maunder

Ok, so I've always wondered, when you guys are both in the office and your posting to eachother on CodeProject, are you sitting right next to eachother (or in the same room)? That's the ultimate geek humor ritual, sending the guy sitting right next to you a smartarse email. ;P Chris Richardson
