Memorizing Pi

A few years ago, this elementary school kid came to our highschool to recite Pi. It was so crazy, the little kid knew, what seemed like at the time, a hundred or so digits (It was awhile ago, not really sure).

Man what a loser that kid will grow up to be 🙂

haha, good point.

How does someone memorize 220 digits by the way? straight memorization? or something else?

I did it with striaght memorizing. I broke up the numbers into groups of anyone where from 2-7, and I often did it so that the numbers came together nicely (hard to explain). Like when it goes 9303819, that just sounds like something I can remember. Also 197, 169, 399, 375 is easier to remember than 19, 971, 6939, 9375 IMO.
 
i've got it down to 3.141592 i used to know a few more, i'm sure i could get at least 32 digits if i tried.....but for most calculations, this is all i really need to know
