Likewise, I learnt the first 50 and then just gave up. It's interesting how I still remember them all despite not learning it in years.

Yup, must be stored somewhere in long-term memory where it can quite easily be recalled. Not sure why, it's not exactly the most useful information :biggrin:

If you ever forget your calculator in an exam it may be helpful :tongue:

The pi song lists them further, but it started getting too fast for me to keep track of. And now if someone asks to recite them out loud I have to sing them :colondollar:

The pi song? :wink:

(Sung to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious)

To find a circle’s area will often make you queasy,
It’s not just simply length by width or anything that easy.
But then one day you’ll find a number that will help your brain,
It might be transcendental but it’s sure to save you pain!

Oh!

Chorus:

3.141592653589
If you were to say it all then you’d be here a long time.
Multiply by two r and then you will have a curved line
3.141592653589

Archimedes Archimedes Archimedes Pi!
Archimedes Archimedes Archimedes Pi!

If you were to write Pi to several hundred thousand digits,
Any who saw patterns there I’d have to say were id(j)iots.
The proof that Pi’s irrational is just too long for now,
But if you ask your maths teacher I’m sure he’ll show you how!

Oh!

(Chorus)

Archimedes Archimedes Archimedes Pi!
Archimedes Archimedes Archimedes Pi!

So if you have a sphere whose volume you must quickly know,
It’s simply one and one third Pi by r cubed don’t you know.
But better use it carefully or Pi can lose its gloss -
(Spoken) Ahem, for instance, one night I used it on some trig,
And now my sin’s a cos!

Ooooooohhhhhh!

(Chorus, speeding up to a grand Pi finale!)
