but you still have to memorize 6 digits to get the fraction, and then you have to divide it out
to memorize to 90 parts per billion you only have to memorize 8 digits!
I have memorized Pi - I memorized the symbol - its the key on my calculator that looks like two TT 's run together, and thats all I need to know!
BTW, Akira Haraguchi has stepped over the line and caused an unforeseeable amount of grief for millions of men all over the world. I can hear it already
[wife] IF 60 year old Akira Haraguchi can remember Pi to 100,000 digits then why cant you remember my FOUR DIGIT BIRTHDAY! [/wife]
[You know you're proud to be a FIRSTer when...] You explain to someone how do do something, they go off and do it, come back and ask, "is this right?" and you say,
"Yes."
