Author Topic: Pi Contest in School (3.14159...)  (Read 3602 times)

So in school we are required to memorize 30 digits of pi, but two years ago i memorized like 70 digits of pi. And there will be a contest to who can memorize the most. I'm going to try to win. Did i mention there's a money prize? That's why I'm competing.
Discuss the really really really really really really really long number. (pi)
just for the record i was unsure if i should post this or not
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi
http://www.piday.org/million/ (You can find like a million digits of pi here)
HALL OF ANSWERS
He said there was a monetary prize.

Also, I'm assuming that the contest is run by teachers. The teachers are on salary, which means if they dedicate 3 days to preparing for this contest, that's 10% of the teacher's monthly salary + whatever prize they're offering.
...I meant like a 5$ gift card. Sheesh.

Incase any of you may care, i almost won with 83 digits, but then there was some handicap who came at lunch and did 109 digits. So i'm going to learn 200 digits this weekend for our pi - off on monday.
Basically, free money doesnt come easily.

Most likely but the teacher said that it might be a day after because of a career day scheduled for then.

Sheesh. I've only memorized around a little over thirty.

But then again, I've never really taken the time to sit down and memorize them.
