if you can remember long speeches and songs..memorizing numbers wouldn't  be that hard. maybe there are certain patterns in the numbering

so he can recite pi. what does that get him in life?

The decimals have NO pattern what-so-ever. The numbers continue on and on; they never end. So, what he did WAS cool. No patterns, numbers that go on forever, and memorizing 83,431 of them. I say that's pretty neat.

well if there was a pattern then he could keep going
like if it was .53981234539812345398123453981234 you would remember 53981234 and just repeat it over and over again...so there cant be a pattern

it's been proven that there is no pattern. you can always google "pi" and try to figure out a pattern for yourself, if you wish though. haha i doubt anybody would be that bored, however.

I'd never take the time to count to 83,431 let alone recite that many decimal places of pi.

alright so it hasn't been proven (my apologies), but they haven't found a pattern yet. so i don't really know what you're saying, but memorizing those digits is indeed, hard work. so if there is a pattern, nobody has discovered it yet, so the memorization of pi is currently straight out memorization.

The reason it hasn't been proven is because it is infinite. And if it were to be in pattern, then someone can memorize all digits of pi.

Okay, if the guy can memorize pi's to 83,431 places, that is way less that the length of pi that has been figured out. I'm assuming that when mathematicians wrote out pi to 1.24 trillion decimal places, they would've tried using a supercomputer to find a pattern. They wouldn't have found one; that's why mathematicians believe pi has no pattern.

Since the guy memorizes it to a mere 83000 places compared to 1.24 trillion decimal places, and when mathematicians couldn't find a pattern in pi to 1.24 trillian places, don't you think there wouldn't be a pattern for 83000 either?

Just wondering.

Brenden: That guy must have no life.

Brenden: What? I wouldn't do it for a billion 'causes it'd be a waste of my life.

Wow, amazing anyway. O_O

That's just stupid. Setting world records and stuff for reciting 83,431 numbers of pi. There isn't a pattern; it's just random numbers from a division problem.

Yeah, I find that stuff kinda cool. Yes, I'm a nerd that way.

For pi day at school I memorized it to 200 digits. It was pretty damn long already.

How do they know if he's lying or making up the numbers? What if he's just babbling a bunch of numbers and pretending to think about it? Would you actually try to check over 83,000 numbers?

If he was planning to set a world record, you can bet that there were people checking to see if he's right when he was reciting pi.
