Happy Pi Day, one and all! This is a chance for you to memorize that most useful of numbers: Pi! Below, I've split it up into the mental chunks I use. Some of them have mnemonics built in, or are contextually related to the previous chunk: Sharing digits in the same place, counts that match numbers in the last segments. In some, the first digit is the sum of subsequent digits, or the last digit is the sum of preceding digits. Some have little patterns, perhaps palindromes or alternating digits descending; some have patterns so vague they don't have any real significance. Some were tougher; you just gotta memorize them. So, say it with me:
3.
14
15 (add the 1 to the 14)
9265 (again ends in 5)
35
8979
323 (Palindrome)
846
264 (46 reversed; 64 is 8 ^ 2)
338
3279
50288
41
971
693
993 (at end 93 is repeated; first digit taken from chunk before preceding chunk)
7510
59209
74
944
592
307
8164 (8 squared is 64)
062
862
08998 (starts with the first digits of the preceding two chunks, then palindromes)
6280 (6+2 = 8)
348
253
4211 (4,2,1 is 2^i for i = 2...0).
706
79
8214 (again, powers of two, with the 4 out of order)
808
651
32823 (palindrome)
