that's impressive, but not really practical.

consider the figure to the left in order to understand why

If you paste the first 100 digits of Pi than you are literally a brainlet.

>Memorizing something completely useless
I hope you're happy with your life choices.

I mean, your teacher probably made you memorise the periodic table. What use is that now you search the pages of 4chan?

>>8472896
Knowing the location of elements is great. Lots of materials science properties can be correlated to their location, such as FCC/BCC

>>8472896
Leave my elements alone, anon.

ehh you can use it as a source of random numbers in a pinch. kinda been done to death though

>>8472790
You got it wrong. It's actually

3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078163062862089986280348253421170679

Congress said it was equal to 4.

The only time you would need over 10 digits of PI is if you require extremely precise measurements such as the ones used in architecture or aerospace applications. An example of this would be in pic related.

The only reason a regular person would memorize the many digits of PI without applying it anywhere would be for bragging rights.

>architecture
>needing ten digits of pi
LOL no

>architects need to memorise over 10 digits of pi to use computer software to draw a circle

ok

>>8472790
If you memorize all that shit then clearly you're overcompensating for being a brainlet.

>>8473326
imagine all the dead flies and bird shit in that pool

>>8473326
Yes, and? Five digits of pi would give you the circumference of that pool with an error of less than a millimeter.

>needing more than 6 sig figs

If you actually DO need more there's this thing called Google.

>not being able to create an EE circuit in your brain and then simulate it which generates N digit of Pi

>do you even 180 IQ?

Personally, I've memorized 3.1415926535 for fun years ago, but it's pretty useless. Also it takes me around 8 seconds to recall it properly.

>>8473286
If you do calculations with that precision you most likely won't do them by hand, and if you use calculator or a computer then there are easier ways for getting the value of pi than memorising and typing it.

But learning pi digits on its own isn't necessarily stupid, memorising things can increase your memory, do learning pi is not bad (unless you just wanna brag about it like op)

>memorising π
>instead of adding the inverse squares and using the result due to Euler to approximate π to arbitrary precision
