I only knew it to the 21st decimal, which seemed reasonable for all practical purposes to date... I'll try harder in future... smiley

I know 71 digits of pi, and all my friends think I'm slightly crazy for doing this. It all began one day in 6th grade when I got bored in math class. 3 years later, and now I know 71 digits (and still rising) tongueout

I got it up to 20 a few years ago, but stopped for two reasons. Firstly, I couldn't find it written down anywahere from a reliable source, and secondly, once again, unfortunately 'real' life got in the way...

The quest continues...

Yeah, I got to 50 too. Started in 7th grade, got so far, stopped, got to 50, and don't really feel like I need to try too much more. It's still my favorite irrational number (see the name numbers).
