Pi Day
« on: March 08, 2013, 06:24:24 pm »
Are you prepared for pi day? Have you even remembered it? You now only 6 days. Now is your chance to do something special. For me, I to memorize pi. Last year I did 50 and this year I did 100 digits. Here, I even made a cute program you can test your skills and hone your talents to memorize even more. (Sadly, it only goes to 100 digits.) Hope you learn more than you ever have by Thursday!

DID YOU KNOW:
The record for memorization of pi is 42,195?

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Meeeh... My record was 263, but I can only recall 230 now. And my original plan was to get to 762 digits!
Wish my brain was like those people.

I'm at about 6 digits.  I've never tried to memorize it.

I know something like 14 digits. Which is pretty much the precision of a TI-83+.

I only worked my way up to 194 digis. On the other hand, I can commit strings of numbers to memory in a few minutes. I haven't reached my limit yet, but when I was trying to memorise more digits of pi, it took me a few minutes (about 5) to commit a 48 digit chunk to memory and then I went to the next chunk :D If you do the math, you will see that that amounts to 4 chunks plus a few digits. Only the first three chunks have stuck, though, and it has been a few months since I have tried to memorise it. My goal was to have 10000 memorised by now, but school got in the way .__. I made a program to quiz me and it has 1000 digits :D

The world record of 42,195 took about 16 hours to recite.
