Man recites pi from memory to 83,431 places
Japanese counselor breaks his own personal best
TOKYO - A Japanese psychiatric counselor has recited pi to 83,431 decimal places from memory, breaking his own personal best of 54,000 digits and setting an unofficial world record, a media report said Saturday.

Akira Haraguchi, 59, had begun his attempt to recall the value of pi - a mathematical value that has an infinite number of decimal places - at a public hall in Chiba city, east of Tokyo, on Friday morning and appeared to give up by noon after only reaching 16,000 decimal places, the Tokyo Shimbun said on its Web site.

But a determined Haraguchi started anew and had broken his old record on Friday evening, about 11 hours after first sitting down to his task, the paper said.

If you could dig a hole from one side of the earth to the other passing through the core, a ball dropped in at one of the ends will reach the other end (assuming that it doesn't hit the sides) in about 42 minutes. if you jump into the hole, you too will reach the other end in 42 minutes. :jumpie: :wave:

it's just a theory though.

I prefer pi with an e at the end. ;)

In Radians:
pie = 2pi
1/2 pie = pi
big slice = pi / 2 :mrgreen:

When drunk off one's @$$, one tends to tip over to the right especially when sitting on the hood of one's car, more often than not. Well, at least this is true in my experience... :drink: :drooling:
