Behold the unimaginable power of pi!
e^(i*π) +1 = 0

Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Pizza Pie, and 3.1415926535....... Ask Daniel Tammet; he holds the world record for reciting Pi to 22,514 decimal places in 5 hours and 9 minutes at Pi Day 2004. (He has AS, savant syndrome, and synesthesia :D .)


The record is 100,000 set by some other savant guy (not sure if he's autistic) but Daniel Tammet is VERY COOL! I wanna get his book actually.


It makes my memorisation to 150 decimal places look tame. I've forgotten most of them now. I just got the urge to learn Pi when I was around 12 years old. Not often I need Pi nowadays; the only occasion being when I'm calculating pixel coordinates when programming to draw circles, arcs or spirals on screen.
