just curious, anyone here memorize Pi?
Well weāve got a European champ at Pi here I think. Iām in the 1000 Pi club. 
Really? Who would that be?
I just started on Pi about 3 days ago. Im at 100 digits. Next week when i get time im going to work towards 500 digits. Thats my short term goal.
I only know 250, purely because I wanted to prove to an ex that I could double her in a weekend
stasfreestyle said in a comment that he broke the Russian record.
stasfreestyle may be the Russian champ but he is not the European champ - that title belongs to another mnemonist - Daniel Tammett who memorised and recited Pi to 22,500 digits.
Jimbo1, though he did have one error which disqualified him
Personally I knew 1000 decimals at one point using my old system. My new goal is over 10,000 decimals (breaking the Swedish record) using my new system.
Hi Spenen - I donāt think so - he is listed on this site: pi-world-ranking-list.com/lists/memo/index.html and I do recall him being on the news when he did it.
Look at my avatar - what would you guess?
Iāve memorized 400 digits of Pi.
Iāve even created a tutorial about my unusual approachā¦
ā¦and a quiz to help you train!
I like this approach, because people get the idea of the scale of my memorization, but I rarely have to recite more than 12 digits!
I memorised 1,000 digits for a series of presentations a couple of years back. I memorised them as a matrix of 40 rows of 25 digits each row so that when asked I could give the number at a certain location e.g. 16th digit of row 33.
A rather old one but maybe you read it againā¦how you stored that matrix? Did you use loci points per row or for every position?
Hi,
I did it as a journey of 40 locations, each location had 25 numbers on it. I was using a 2 digit PAO system at the time so I used 2 PAO images combined with a single digit image and then 2 more PAO images at each of the locations:

Thanks, that`s great, you had about 12-13 images on every loci point which is a lot!
Have just bought an eBook called AS EASY AS PI from lulu.com that teaches you how to memorise pi. Much to my amazement, it really works, so after just a few reads, I can now recite pi to over 500 places. Amazing! Hopefully by the end of the week, Iāll be up to 1000 places!!
āeach location had 25 numbers on itā
I have memorized 2.500 digits and still adding on to it using a variation of BenĀ“s system. Constant-vowel-constant. So 1000 images for each number from 000-999. Then I place 3 images (9 digits) all interacting with each other on every location in my memory palace. I knew I would need a longer memory palace then those I had created so I decided to make a never ending one that goes through paths in my hometown and houses I know well.
I find it easy adding 100-200 digits per day without forgetting any before. I feel like I can reach up to tens of thousands if I put the time in, but weāll see
