We had our annual Digit of Pi Memorization Contest today, a few days before Pi Day (March 14th is over Spring Break this year). It is amazing how many digits students can memorize in just one week. First place went to Carys, who memorized and sang the first hundred digits of pi and then recited another 17. Yes, she memorized 117 digits of the number. Second place was Chayse with 98 digits. I'm so proud of all the students in the class, as each and every one of them know more digits of pi than most people, as math classes usually only focus on the first 3! Even fifth place memorized 83 digits of the infinite number.
