I'm going to try to memorize some of it for fun.
The guy that either holds or used to hold the world record memorized pi by listening to a recording of it nonstop!

[Coolio]

Who is this guy? The record holder?

[Wicked]

Not how I did it... I had to write it down so I saw it while I said it at the same time.

my class had a pi party

Everyone brought a pie to school in my math class was so good

[Cataliste]

Even long before computers have calculated π, memorizing a record number of digits became an obsession for some people. The current world record is 100,000 decimal places, set on October 3, 2006 by Akira Haraguchi. [3] The previous record (83,431) was set by the same person on July 2, 2005 [4], and the record previous to that (43,000) was held by Krishan Chahal.
