Pi are round, cornbread r squared.
Some people have the ability to remember long sequences of numbers easily. It may be genetic. My daughter and I both have this ability but pi is a ~little~ long for us. lol
Enjoy!

The wife and children have gone abroad, because the husband spends all his time drinking sake and memorizing numbers.
He gets a little Pi-eyed.
And then his brain gets number.
Man, I need a drink. Alcoholic of course.
(Brain teaser: how does what I wrote above relate to this thread?)
He's working on reducing it to four.
Chuck Norris knows all the digits of pi.
I can remember 100,000 numbers. 1,2,3,4,5,.... Need I go on?
Neat subject, sloppy reporting. :-)
Too easy.

The idea behind 'pi' is arrived at out of the realisation that for every circle, no matter what size, the ratio of its circumference to its diameter, is a constant.
ENGROSSED HOUSE BILL No. 246
A Bill for an act introducing a new mathematical truth and offered
as a contribution to education to be used only by the State of Indiana Section -2- It is impossible to compute the area of a circle on the diameter as the linear unit without trespassing upon the area outside of the circle to the extent of including one-fifth more area than is contained within the circle's circumference, because the square on the diameter produces the side of a square which equals nine when the arc of ninety degrees equals eight. By taking the quadrant of the circle's circumference for the linear unit, we fulfill the requirements of both quadrature and rectification of the circle's circumference. Furthermore, it has revealed the ratio of the chord and arc of ninety degrees, which is as seven to eight, and also the ratio of the diagonal and one side of a square which is as ten to seven, disclosing the fourth important fact, that the ratio of the diameter and circumference is as five-fourths to four; and because of these facts and the further fact that the rule in present use fails to work both ways mathematically, it should be discarded as wholly wanting and misleading in its practical applications.
