<p>guess that means it's the most interesting?</p>
<p>And I thought I had the most time in my hand when I entered the
pi-memorizing contest.....</p>
<p>3.14159265358979323846264, and that's where I begin to forget :></p>
<p>My highest one was 510 digits past the decimal point... but that was a short-term memory thing... now I remember about 100 or less...</p>
<p>LOL, the most I ever had was the first 50 digits...oh well :L|</p>
<p>Hah! that means I have more kill time on my hand than you do!! (except not anymore..gotta get that SAT score up)well... fits right into my asina eskimo theory actually...figures..</p>
<p>weirdos.....</p>
<p>Hah figures.. you're from Arizona!! One of those A states! Ever read the hobbes' theory on the alphabetical order of states corresponding the coolness of ppl in those states?</p>
<p>wait... where did that post with "i've memorized past that...blah blah" go?</p>
<p>yep, A=0 coolies</p>
<p>lucky for you, orbit, princeton celebrates pi day:</p>
<p>From the article:
"The key [to reciting pi] is the rhythm. I just broke down the information into groups of five and memorized them. Next came putting them all in sequence, so I came up with pneumonic devices," he said. "It's just a fun party trick, for the right kind of parties, of course." </p>
<p>Inventing air pumps helps to memorize pi?</p>
<p>OMG! i'm not the only one who memorizes pi!!! i have 183 decimal places :)</p>
<p>lol i'm hardly able to memorize my new cell phone number.</p>
<p>haha orbit i changed it so i wouldnt look retarded =P</p>
<p>Go for it,koala!
I love that article, it made me laugh out loud.</p>
<p>oh my god, you're such nerds! I can't memorize pi past 5 decimal places :P <---(probably got into Princeton by accident)</p>
<p>We celebrated pi day in my high school. They gave out slices of pie and made us find its length in radians or something. I forget.</p>
<p>Pros: Suburban campus. I love being in the 'burbs better than in an inner city(well, for living anyway)--probably because I am from Atlanta. It's pretty. Great academics (of course). I hear they are nicer to the undergrads and care about them there unlike many of the other Ivies. The big easier admissions into grad school. </p>
<p>Cons: It's cold(I'll miss wearing shorts in winter and getting out of school because the city shuts down and the freeways are closed due to "frosting" from an inch of snow). You have to write a thesis on graduation year (but, it's for Princeton... it's worth it ;))</p>
<p>That's all I can think of.</p>
<p>My math teacher is so anti-pi. She read all these articles about how memorizing it wastes brain space, so she gets really angry when someone mentions pi day. Last year she actually made me recite it in front of the class, then she spent the rest of the period yelling at me for memorizing it. She sounded like she was on the verge of giving me detention. I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing... can you imagine what that would be like?</p>
<p>"hey, why are you in detention?"
"i didn't do my homework. what about you?"
"oh, you know... just memorizing pi again." <---- i'm such a bad-ass. ;)</p>
<p>LOL.</p>
<p>oh man, hahaha. wasting brain space? That's ridiculous. We have more brain capacity than we could ever use!</p>
