π=3.14159265...\huge \pi = 3.14159265...

For years, most of us know the first three digits of π\pi; 3.143.14. But π\pi is a constant and irrational number, which means the digits 3.143.14 do not end there.

Do you know what this note is supposed to tell you? I challenge you to memorize the digits of π\pi! From 3.141592653589793238...3.141592653589793238... up to 52722520988557631...52722520988557631..., you can memorize every single digit of π\pi up to any digit you want...

The world record holder of π\pi-digit memorizing is Lu Chao, who memorized more than 6000060000 digits of π\pi! Isn't that neat?

As for me, I could only memorize up to 6161 digits (and continuing): 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944...3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944...

Now, let the (memorization) games... begin!

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.
