Pi





I’ve always been an absent minded kind of a guy but as I age it seems as if my memory might be really not working well – so on a whim I decided to memorize the decimal values of Pi (p) out to 100 decimal places to check out the old grey matter.  When I completed that task I couldn’t seem to stop wanting to ‘just do another 50’.  Well I pretty well have that damn transcendental (non-repeating never ending decimal string) out to 300 places now AND I AM NOT GOING TO GO ANY FARTHER!!

 
pi = 3. 14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510

         . . . .  and so on forever

The dark print numerals after the decimal place above are the first 300 decimal places, now etched in some manner into my brain – but I keep thinking that maybe another 100 or so might be OK – say 500 places – a nice round number, eh?

[examining this post this morning and saw that I had inadvertently posted without tidying up - so is it my memory or just a normal mistake, eh?]
