Chinese Student Spends One Day Reciting Pi to 67,890 Digits
Some Chinese dude with nothing better to do than spout numbers did so in front of several dozens of witnesses for 24 hours straight...plus 4 minutes.

The student recited pi to 67,890 digits. That is 50 numbers per line, 40 lines per page = 34 pages of random numbers he memorized.

And for good reason, too.

Some ancient Chinese mathematician is credited with discovering pi so, thepi.jpg student said, Chinese should win the pi recitation contest. A Japanese fellow set the previous record of 42,195 digits (the number of meters in a marathon) in 1995.

The Chinese boy spent 10 hours a day everyday memorizing and practicing during his summer vacation.

This record will do wonders for dispelling the stereotype of Asian math nerds, eh?

What do you think?
