How many digits of pi do you know offhand? At the max, how many have you memorized, even if you don't remember them now? How much effort did you put into remembering many digits of pi?

As long as I can reel them off without thinking about it, I can do 30 decimal places, which is the max I ever learned.

For the talent show at giftie summer camp one year, a couple of my friends recited pi to 100 digits, alternating each one. (It's harder than it sounds.) The rest of us memorized what we could as a show of support. I was 15 and don't remember at all how hard it was, but I'd guess that doing it as a group activity made it fun.
