Gaurav Rajav, a 15-year old Virginia high school student, recited 8,784 digits of Pi — the non-repeating and non-terminating decimal — likely placing him among the top Pi-reciters in the world.
He had hoped to recite 10,790 digits and set a record in the United States and North America. He says, "I'm kind of disappointed, but I guess I did OK."
Good afternoon class. Everyday we will have a math fact to start off and then start with our assignment. For today's assignment, each of you will have to memorize at least 15 digits of Pi. Imagine how hard it was for Gaurav Rajav to memorize 8,784 digits.
