Pi you say?

I just did a comic talking about pi and it makes me wonder, how many digits of pi do you guys know? This is how far I know pi (as stated in the comic blurb): 3.14159265358979323. At one point in time, I knew more digits of pi, but eventually parts of my social security number started working their way in and replacing the once correct digits.  That’s when I abandoned those extra digits. This may not be the coolest topic, but who cares! It’s pi! Pi is cool!

I was actually surprised to find that I know exactly the same number of digits. I used to know two more but I could never remember if it was 62 or 26 or something completely different.

I got to the big 100 :D

It started off as a challenge between me and my friend. I got to 50. Then we got more and more until I got to 100, I think he got to about 110 or so.

Quite sadly, I am not making this up. And just in case you're wondering, yes, I do happen to have a very beautiful girlfriend.

For anyone who wants to know...

I'm probably going to be in a race next month, and I'm planning on being number pi.

I know a guy who claims to know up to 50000 digits (he's probably lying). Personally, I prefer the pastry to the number.

My Nintendo Wii is named Pii. And although there is an extra "I," I find this relevant because it is still just an obtuse of a word as pi. I only remember 3.1415926535 because my address is 535 and I would always get excited about and distracted by that.

I swear on all that is holy that I actually memorized about 240-250 digits of Pi. We were having this contest at my school; whoever memorized the most digits of Pi got a $20 gift certificate to Chapters. Needless to say, I won by a long shot. True story!

hahaha i only know 3.1415 :')

but i did found this:

Theorem: All numbers are equal.

Proof: Choose arbitrary a and b, and let t = a + b. Then

a + b = t

(a + b)(a - b) = t(a - b)

a^2 - b^2 = ta - tb

a^2 - ta = b^2 - tb

a^2 - ta + (t^2)/4 = b^2 - tb + (t^2)/4

(a - t/2)^2 = (b - t/2)^2

a - t/2 = b - t/2

a = b

So all numbers are the same, and math is pointless.

which i found very funny :P using math to prove math is useless

I know this girl who can recite something like, the first 300 digits-- it's ridiculous. She rattles them off so fast I can barely process them, let alone remember them! As for me, I only know 3.1415926.
