Is that a challenge? I’ve often thought of doing that, someday, when…
I might try again. I’d really like to try it in Forth, that should be a lot of fun. Thanks for the prod. -d

My math class in high school had a poster on the wall of pi to 50 digits. When I was bored in that class, which was often, I just sat and memorized the numbers. I still remember half of them.

I remember it as far as 3.14159, and then I’d be guessing (although the next decimal place turned out to be what I would guess at… probably)

As far as feats of memory go, I am also more impressed by memorisation of useful things. For example, it would be nice if I could remember all the roads around my area, so I’d know where I was going when making an unfamiliar trip (i.e. I know the route from A to B, and A to C, but then when I need to go from B to C the only route I would know without some guesswork is BAC)

Or maybe a bunch of recipes… that would be useful knowledge.

What I actually have committed to memory is an odd assortment of trivia and pop culture from games, TV and films. I could still probably name all the original Pokemon, given some time. Then tell you which were the good ones too.

I remember it to 9 decimal places, but that’s just because that’s how much my calculator used to display at school! I must of not paid much attention in maths and ended up just staring ay my calculator a lot!
