My CS teacher OMG Did insane

[tsugomaru]

Oh cool. So I saw this documentary on the interwebs. The average person is able to remember at least seven numbers unconciously. It would explain why phone numbers and license plates are commonly seven numbers or total characters.

I also read an article in a magazine that if you practice your memorizing skills, you'll remember more and more numbers unconciously until you arrive at the point where you have a perfect memory.

The wierd thing is, they tested this on goldfish. As we all should know, they have an average memory span of around ten seconds. But if they can't remember anything beyond ten seconds, then how can they survive? They wouldn't remember the importance of food or remember what danger is. They remember those things unconciously. They practiced on increasing the gold fish's memory span to the point where they were able to train the goldfish to play a game of underwater soccer. Since I read it in a magazine, there was no movie to prove it, but the pictures provided made it look like the goldfish really know what they were doing.

Goldfish memory?

Watch Mythbusters. They can remember much more.

In other words, there is no instance in which so many decimal places of pi are useful in mathematic computation. As you continue down the line of decimal places of pi, each is exponentially more useless than the digit before it.

WOAH. Now I have more evidence to support my statement. And this time, people can watch it.

I've got another story. There is this marine biologist at this aquarium. His job is to clean fish tanks. He got lazy of trying to catch every fish in a smaller aquariums to clean their tank. So he decided to start naming the fish, and trained them to respond when he called them.

It worked.

I'm sad I didn't do this to my fish when I was four. =[

Learning pi to 50 digits isn't hard. I memorized the order of the first 23 or so elements in one class period and I still don't even know my Spanish teacher's name.

[tsugomaru]

It seems to me a lot of the people on this forum knows pi to an extent farther than three digits. They probably also know that pi isn't 22/7.

It could be you guys, or a side affect of the internet.

Give him another ten and he might break 120,000.

When I was in middle school, 6th grade, there was this one asian kid who memorized up to 500+ digits of pi. He goes to my high school now.

He pwns.

I know it's computer science. But still, I would pass a Counter-Strike class no problem.

Wimp. I've got the entire freaking Periodic Table memorized...well, almost the entire thing. I still can't rattle off atomic masses, and I have some trouble with the elements after the actinides. (This is the sort of thing that happens when you're a lonely man and your mom is a chemist.)

Getting back on topic, I have the first 25 decimals down pat, but I can never remember the order of the next 15.

[FluorescentArmy]

I just use the squiggly double T button on my calculator for pi. Unless the teacher specifies how many digits she wants. Then I just look in my agenda thing they give us and it has like 15 digits.

I've known 50 for over 3 years. It's stuck in my memory. If you asked me then I'd be able to do the same thing, but over the internet it's impossible for you to tell I'm lying.
