I agree. I've memorized a dozen or so Japanese songs since I frequently listen to them, even though I didn't know a single Japanese alphabet or phrases aside from things lika arigatou or gomen

Not if he had a photographic memory. Then again, the organized system here is pi itself, since those digits are already established. That's not very deep, though, but I don't know if he could have gone deeper than that. Some people can just look at something a few times and get it then and there. Like I said, I don't think this is something you can just study for. The kid's 15, I don't think he's necessarily had long enough to study over 8000 digits of pi.

Oh, so've I. I was just saying that it's similar.

Hears some TWW trivia..... on Pi day at school, two years ago (3-14) (march 14th) there was a school-wide contest which eventually turned into a district-wide contest to see how could remember the most digits of pi. The person who could write down the most in order would win....

I won. I still have my certificate. I memorized 316 digits of Pi!

No, its no 10,000..... but come on, for a guy who doesnt have time to make 10,000 digits his life goal..... 316 is pretty good, right?

My technique was not to memorize numbers in order, but remember several groups of about 10 numbers. Off the top of my head, I remember:
you start off with the obvious: 3.1415926535
then the next group is (8979,3238,
then the next group is 46264, 3383, 279
then the next group is 50288419
then the next group is 7169, 3993, 751

andddd from there i dont need to list them all... but.. . it basically ends there. I dont remember past 70 or so...

Eh, it would have been more impressive if you had remembered 314 numbers
