118 digits memorized and still going...

I can never remember what comes after 3.14159265...

...35892653589...

I think that's as much as I can name off hand. Using a pi memorizing program a couple years agoI got 118 or part there of.

I made a pi memorization program a year ago, and jrock updated it to make it better. :) Check the link

I have QBASIC one on my harddrive... but, it's on the other computer :(

And, if you get bored... go to http://www.joyofpi.com/pi.html

I made on for the 83+. (Link above.) I reworked it so it doesn't need the 83+ and not keep 'score', but I haven't uploaded it yet...

combining your post and the one you replied to I get:
3.1415926535892653589...you cycled back to "26"...it should be:
3.1415926535897932384... ;)

I did get about 50 digits once, but I'm never really good at memorizing it. Speaking of which, my school does a memoriation contest, winner gets an 83+SE. Some kid last year got about 400 digits.

3.1415926535897932384626433...Thats All I got.

I got about 150 last year, and I updated a program that no_one uploaded...mempi89...

Hehe, that's the program that I use to do my memorization.

really? cool...nice to know our program is appreciated... ;)

Correct me, no_one, if I'm wrong....

that's my 2 cents and 175 digits from memory for the day...

I have realized that from using my mempi program I have memorized pi with not only the numbers, but also with the tone that those numbers would make on a telephone...strange...Hey! I wonder if there's a telephone number that's 1-415-926-5358, or even 314-1592

My Friend's phone number is 314-1592.

Tell him to sell it on ebay!

That's illegal.

So? ;-)

area code 415 is in california, on the north side of the golden gate bridge, marin county to sonoma county.

click that link and scroll down, it mentions pi as a phone number and where it calls to.

Or if you're in country code 3 (France or something, I forget) 3-141-592-6536

You have to dial 11 before international calls (except to Canada since then just dial 1 + area code).

Well, my locker number is 337. I put a one in front of it. Now it's 1337 ;-)

when i finally get a car, ill try to get the custom plate "3141593" (california plates are seven characters, i dont know about the rest of the states) If that's already taken i'll try e, then ill give up, well maybe the golden ratio...

I saw a liscense plate the other day that said CLCUL8R...it was funny...My mom said they probably weren't TI lovers though...she said they were most likely accountants...I prefer to believe that they love TI calculators... ;)

Maybe they were just math geeks overall :)

You're right, except I think you accidentally hit a number twice as you were typing it. I'm fairly sure that 5359408112 should be 5359408128, so from there on, you were one digit off. It's probably just a typo. I do that a lot when I type pi (especially when I do it as fast as I can).

I always get confused around 150. I think last year, you had 13^2 and I had 12^2. :) The year before THAT, I had about 10^2. Weird how that works :-D

13^2..that's right! I remember that! that was pretty funny...ok, now you have to get at least 14^2 and I'll shoot for 15^2...

LOL! Alright :-D 196... I should be able to do that.

Some year I want to get 314 digits. That would be the best :)

??? why stop there? go for 3,141,592 digits ;)

LOL! Wow... 3 million :) I would have to eventually go to something bigger than joyofpi.com for that!

If anybody was ambitious enough, going for 1337 digits would probably by the best.

or PI in base 26...I think that's *opens VTI* 668

The record for the highest number of digits memorized was set by a Chinese guy, who got around 2000 digits. With an accuracy level of around 99%.

I wish my school would do that. :(

There's a kid at my school that put as many digits as he could on the inside of his senior ring.

3.14159 2653589 7932384 6264338 3279502 8841971 6939937 5105820 9749445 9230781 6406286 2089986 2803482 5342117 0679821 4808651 3282306 is all I can recite off the top of my head. I did 153 digits once but I can't anymore, so I plan to get those digits back by Pi Day.
Also, I'm going to try to get as many people as I can to yell "Happy Pi Day" in school at 1:59:26 on Pi Day.

No wait, it's a Sunday. Argh!

I know! It is :( I wanted to jump up in the middle of my Honors Geometry class at 1:59:26 and yell "3.14159265358979......"
Guess I'll have to do it at home again

there could be a celebration in the irc channels.

LOL I can just imagine hundreds of people in one chat room reciting digits of pi at once.

I decided to memorize equations for my physics test(s) instead :)
