Have a piece of Pi

[Klaus]

My son recited 50 plus places of pi last year, for extra credit in math, the winner at his school did 300!  (Seventh Grade)  He is going for a higher number this year, I think they do it next week.

It's interesting that 50 is sort of the "entry level" for memorizing pi. I did the first 50 when I was in 7th grade - and never forgot them. The other 30 or so I did more recently. I have no doubt that I could crank it up to 300 or 1000 or whatever I would care to shoot for, if I cared to expend the effort. Which mostly, I don't. I might try and get the next 20 or so (to make it a round 100 digits), but I'm not in any real hurry.
