Pi has had more than one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) digits discovered now. I'll have to find a link.

How many digits are they up to? Is it in the thousands, or millions, my memory is terrible.

*throws pi at Mike*

3.14159265358979323846264338327950...(etc.)

Do other irrational numbers have days? Is there a Square Root Of 2 day, for instance?

I didn't know they had a day for this Weird..

Only numbers of Pi I know are 3.14 I didn't know any after that, and I didn't know they have discovered so many digits in Pi. I thought it was lower.

3.141, so I'm a bit better in that regard.

Sad thing is I bet people get PAID to find new digits of Pi. That's just sad.

They do.

Some company offered a considerable amount of money for someone to get to digit X (I forget which)

Someone had an slow loading layout with like 1000 numbers of PI once I heard in the backround.

And I only rembember the first three, 3.14. More than that is uneeded for basic math.

Draw an exact, perfect circle. Then measure the circumference and diameter exactly, and divide the circumference by the diameter. Keep doing this until your arm gets tired.

Wait, that was before computers were invented.

I can remember up to 3.1415265

IIRC, one ancient Egyptian took his whole life to get 3.141.

Um...that's 3.14159265. You missed a digit there.

I just gradually learned the digits of pi...I knew about eight when I was in third grade...

Woof, 3.14 works for me...although it'd be a good talking point to know a lot of them somehow.

Pi is neither repeating (repeating is something like ".33333333333[...]") or terminating (like "6.2"), which means the numbers are endless. Supposadly. (Which I most likely misspelled.)
