I can recall it to 50 places, I guess I’m swinging a big one.
Saved from being a dick by 1 digit.
You know what? In Mexico they just told us it was 3.1416 and that’s how they tough it to us.
There have been studies showing that most people can only remember 7 items/digits of anything. ( http://www.livescience.com/health/080428-working-memory.html ) I know pi up to 3.1415926 (and I know the 6 is a 7 rounded up) so that’s in the “good enough for most scientists” field AND almost within the “amount of numbers normal people can remember.”
Conclusion: I’m normal!
Wikipedia has a couple of tips on memorizing the digits of pi.
What’s more important is knowing what pi means (it’s the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its radius) and how it keeps popping up all over the place in math and science, not just in geometry.
I apparently fit into the dick category, but I can’t compare to people I used to know.
Does that mean that I need a Piloop?
I’ve always remembered it as 3.1415927 – just teetering on the edge of dick-ness.
