If anyone is curious, I looked it up and The Guinness Book of World Records currently recognizes Rajveer Meena as the world record holder for Pi memorization. He recited 70'000 digits of Pi while blindfolded in about ten hours in 2015. I can't even begin to understand how someone could actually do that.

I memorized 100 digits some years ago using physical memory. I would type the digits of pi on the numpad and memorize the movements of my hand, how it feels and which button goes when by position. Then when I would have to recite it, I'd imagine a numpad, move my hand and just say the number that corresponds to the imaginary button I'm pressing.
Don't know if that could work for 70k digits though

Pi is exactly 3!

so 6?

Three, no more, no less. Three is the number of pi. Four should not be pi, neither two. Five is right out.

1, 2, 5!
3 sir!
Oh yes! 3!
-
I got into a long debate with someone who wouldn't accept my claim that pi is 3.
My reasoning was that 3 is accurate to the number of decimal places it's quoted to, which is all you ever can say of any given value of pi. Like, pi might not be exactly 3, but it's not 3.14159265358979323846 either, because both values still have infinity digits missing.

Does anyone else really want to write them now just to get an official rejection letter?
-
If I write them enough and get enough rejection letters, can I then get accepted as the Guinness World Records record holder for most rejections of Guinness World Record records?

You could say he was all mixed up, and he didn’t know what (else) to do.

He bet on himself though

-
Is there a Guiness world record for classes or categories of individuals with the most rejection letters from the Guiness World Records association?
-
If you pay for it I'm sure they would gladly add it

Pi for workgroups.

Every 5y/o is better at copying the Guinness World Records logo.

Well, shit.
This guy beat me to it.

This isn't really a meme

Now I want to see the original letter. For some reason this reminds me of David Thorne (27bslash6)

I like how the filename is "NoFair.webp". Hiding a funny little message in the filename is classy.

I hold 2 GWR for the Reddit Secret Santa.
Anyone that participated during a couple years qualified.

I don't remember if it was like ACT or whatever. I took it and I did terrible. I went to a class and they told me not to read the reading section, but just skim through it and grab key words. The the next time I did the test I did a pretty good job for my dumb arsre.

During lockdown I had a bit of time on my hands so I memorised all the digits of pi in the right order.
I memorized them in numerical order. First there's a bunch of 0s then a bunch of 1s, followed by 2s, and so on.
Yeah but how many 0s do you have before you get to the first 1? I've been working on it but still don't have a definite answer.
You should do alphabetical next.
All... ALL of them?
Hey, me too! I also did e and the Feigenbaum constant, though.
Yeah, me too. But first I had to count to infinite to make sure the decimal parts of these would fit.
descending primes, right?
Decimal expansion. 3.14 etc
