How many digits of pi did you memorize?

[JPS35]

All of them, but...only one person alive is allowed this privilege, and believe me, it would blow your mind what's at the end.

 

[pontifex]

two

3.14 is good enough for me, the computers figure it more than that

same here

 

[Dr. Zaus]

3.141592653589

It was part of the fight-song for my high-school.

 

[ViRGE]

22/7. I was too lazy to memorize 3.14.

 

[Dedpuhl]

3 significant digits

22/7. I was too lazy to memorize 3.14.

^That's over 1/20th of a percent off...

it makes me sad.

 

[tboo]

3.14159

Thats as far as it goes for me.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

3.14159

Thats as far as it goes for me.

That's a little less than .0000269% off

I'm OK with that; it's only about a mile off when calculating the circumference of the earth.

 

[Mixolydian]

Just 3: 3.14. Who cares?

 

[Matthiasa]

Any more then a few and for almost everything the error from sources of data overwhelms whatever gains would have been had from taking it out farther.

[BurnItDwn]

more digits than I'll ever need.

 

[Arcadio]

3.14159265359

 

[SandEagle]

3.1 something

 

[thecrecarc]

0. I round down from 3.

 

[rasczak]

only 2

 

[mnewsham]

I have about 65 digits or so memorized at the moment.

 

[OverVolt]

22/7

For more accuracy you can increase that. 44/14 or 110/35 etc.

Hmm whats a good calculation for accurate pi? I noticed its way off like dixy said.

 

[mnewsham]

22/7

As you can see &#960; < 22/7

 

[Drako]

That's a little less than .0000269% off

I'm OK with that; it's only about a mile off when calculating the circumference of the earth.

But the earth is not perfectly round, so why would that matter

 

[Golgatha]

If I need to do a calculation by hand, I use the estimation of 22/7.

The problem with education in America:

Everyone can recite pi to x digits.

Almost no one can give a geometric proof of A = pi r.

Yo do you want to upgrade your computer? I gots a Voodoo 2 I can sell you. You can run it sli.

Agreed lol. Almost everyone is reciting back complex ideas without understanding the basics including me these days.
