[Misc] How many decimal places do you know Pi to?

[essbee1]

Is this what you’re spending NSCs money in now…… pub quizzes?
I love a good quiz …. Or did

The last pub quiz I entered I couldn't recall the name of the f****** hippo on Rainbow.

I watched that shit as a kid too.

22/7
Though why anyone learns a load of digits is mysterious.
If you're a pure mathematician you keep it as π. For all other purposes you're using a calculator or computer that has more than sufficient accuracy for π stored on it.

Simple. It's the average number of referee threads that appear after an Albion draw or defeat.

3.14

Makes it easier to remember.

Alternatively, the average number of pies I used to buy at an AMEX match

Isn't the world record something like ~25000 places after the decimal point? I kid you not.

I struggle to rember what I had for tea last night.

The world record for reciting Pi is over 70,000 places. Although someone claims to have remembered it to over 100,000 digits it’s never been tested.

Google Cloud has apparently calculated it to over 100 trillion places though. Given the world record for recital was about 1 second per digit it would take someone 3 million years to recite.

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

I can recite pi to 40,000 places

 

[ROSM]

I’ve just won on my pub table with 8.

Yay - go me.

How about you?

Booooo, I could do 7.

Pie?

 

[The Optimist]

Only two places and I have a Maths degree. Not that remembering it to more decimal places would have helped at all with my degree.

How about you?

In Surrey, you'd have been laughed at, in the same way as we mock Sussex CCC for the jokers and utter, utter fops they are,

I did statistics, so 22/7 is near enough. (Actually, 3 would be near enough. So would 4.)

3.142

22/7 is way near enough, for that is exactly what pi is!

 

[Simster]

I’ve just won on my pub table with 8.

Yay - go me.

How about you?

I'd have beaten you.

Off hand I know it is 3.141592654 - 9 DPs.

A Charles, Desmond or a Richard?

But how would anybody know its correct

 

[Jack Straw]

I can't remember for the life of me.

 

[Alan Cundle]

100 places for me. Learnt it at school 35 years ago and still remember it surprisingly - muscle memory I suppose!

Must run in the family as my niece recited 1002 decimal places on "pi day" in March last year at her school. I've seen the video, it's just remarkable what the brain can do.
Top prize was to throw a custard pie in the maths teachers face!

 

[GOM]

As many as I need.

Do you recall the numbers by 100's or 1000's or just individually?
