Eat pi

Why?

SALEM, Va. - A high school student Tuesday recited 8,784 digits of Pi — the non-repeating and non-terminating decimal — likely placing him among the top Pi-reciters in the world.

What's worse, is he doesn't even have the record.

Gaurav Rajav, 15, had hoped to recite 10,790 digits and set a new record in the United States and North America. But he remembered enough to potentially place third in national and North American Pi recitation and 12th in the world.

His ranking should be verified by the Pi World Ranking List within two months.

My brother, now a mechanical engineering major, did this when he was in high school, and won in his class. He recited something like 130 digits, and I thought that was crazy....

Then again, I was runner up in the state geography bee in 8th grade, and had to memorize things that many other people probably found pointless. To each his own....
