By We all know that pi is a mathematical constant that allows you to work out how many digits of a number you need to reach that number. If this is the case, then it would seem that we have a long way to go before we can master this skill. However, the Pi puzzle seems to be one of those things where you can actually just memorize it.
The first time I heard about the Pi puzzle was in a book called “Pi & Beyond” by Peter Norvig. Since then, it’s been popularized a bit by Chris Prather’s TED talk. In the book he tells us to try and imagine some numbers and see how many digits you can get by using the digits of the number. So we can imagine a number for the first time and see how many digits we can get with the digits of the number.
The first time you take the digits of a number and see how many digits you can get, you’ll probably just be able to see the last two digits. You can’t go any further, but you can see how many digits you can get with the digits of the number. However, the more you take the digits of a number and see how many digits you can get, the more difficult it is to memorize the number, and the more you’ll have to think about it a bit.
In the beginning of the video, we’re shown the first few digits of pi and the easiest it is to memorize these digits. Then we’re shown how much harder it is to memorize the next few digits. The more digits you memorize, the harder it is to memorize the next few digits. You cant memorize more digits than you have to, but you can memorize so few digits that you cant remember the next few digits.
So, the most difficult thing about Pi is remembering the beginning number of the digits. But the most difficult thing about Pi memorizing the end number of the digits is how you get the digits in the first place. If you memorize the beginning digits of Pi, you can use them as a memory aid because you can use the end digits of your memorized beginning number to figure out the beginning digits of Pi.
We already know that Pi is a very large prime number. Our study of thousands of pages found that the number of digits in Pi is not so large, but our study also found that the number of digits in Pi’s prime factors is very large.
So if you memorize the beginning digits of Pi, you can use them as a memory aid because you can use the end digits of your memorized beginning number to figure out the beginning digits of Pi.
Since Pi is a very large prime number, memorizing the beginning digits of Pi is actually a pretty good way to get your Pi number memorized. And if you think about it, Pi is a prime number because its decimal expansion is a multiple of itself, and an expansion of a prime number is also a prime number. So remember that Pi is a prime number, and memorize the beginning digits of Pi.
Pi is a small-ish number, so memorizing Pi’s beginning digits is actually pretty easy. It’s all just an exercise in memory. If Pi’s beginning digits are 10, then the integer Pi is a multiple of 10, so you just memorize the beginning digits of Pi. If Pi’s beginning digits are 8, then you just memorize the beginning digits of Pi. And so on.
This is an exercise in pi memorization. If you know the beginning digits of Pi, you can go ahead and memorize the beginning digits of every prime number. That’s a lot easier than memorizing the beginning digits of pi, the number you’re trying to memorize. As it turns out, Pis beginning digits are actually pretty easy to memorize. Just memorize that Pi is a prime number, or memorize the beginning digits of pi.
