Writer's Block: National Pi Day

Mar 14, 2012 20:56

In late elementary school, I learned that the circumference and area of a circle was heard by multiplying 3.14.  Soon, I heard about using 22/7 and the term, pi, which had many more digits.  By jr. high, I memorized pi up to 3.14159, but couldn't remember the rest.  Over the years, I would try to memorize more digits for fun, and right now, I know 3.1415926535897932346.  There were times in the past when I remembered more, but now I can't remember.

In E = mc2, Inui Sadaharu's solo album for Prince of Tennis, the character recites pi to many digits in the song, Pi.  The lyrics can be found at Ore-Samagazine:
