(LOL) But you can calculate the circumference of a sphere as wide as the universe to an accuracy of about one angstrom. Not many people can beat that.

And, according to the rather unambitious schema above, I'm a dick too, since I know pi to twenty decimal places. I can't rattle off a stream of numbers the way you can, but I can translate from the following mnemonic:

Pie

I wish I could determine pi

Eureka cried the great inventor

Christmas pudding, Christmas pie

Is the problem's very centre.

As for what comes after that... well, I really couldn't say. Don't ask me any questions about universe-sized spheres, please.

Wow, that's even better than mine!

How I need a drink, Alcoholic of course after the heavy chapters involving quantum mechanics

Hee hee! That's awesome. You could extend it to twenty decimals by adding

"...and / or the patterns they confer"

"...but my own daughter won't permit"

"...and oh, the waveform that sneers!"

or something like that.

Or, you could just do what I did and memorize 78 digits of it. I suppose that is less interesting.

Oh, dear, I'm a dick, too. (I stop precisely at the 6.)

It looks like you come in just under the dick. Erm, feel free to rephrase that.
