I plan on making a little geekish game based around Hadouken and memorizing the digits of PI. But for that, I'll need to know how many digits people know. I started a day ago with my friend and I'm up to ~70 digits. So what about you? |

So disappointing. It's seriously fun. Maverick wrote: 3.14 thats all i need to know for school. anyone who knows more then like 5 is well... You can imagine
My friend just made it to the 100th digit supposedly, I'll have to kill him if it's true. Yes, we have no lives, this is what we do.  |

Raugrist is a child is most likely an asian child, forced to do so much math, with so little free time for games, that he devises these entertainment in an attempt to free himself from his prison of books That, or he's just messing with us. Either way, the Hadouken will be an awesome game. Give us an outline, dearie |

Raugrist is most definitely some loser in Sarnia....Definitely not Greek, cuz the silly Greeks are no good for stuff. |

C'mon, it's not that hard 
Especially if you're supposed to be studying for your algebra test! BTW, anybody else have problems accessing compsci.ca using Firefox? |

No, they allow us to use calculators. Actually, it's usually not recommended to use calculators when performing calculations with Pi. It's better when stuff cancels it than actually doing something like x*3.141592653 or whatever (unless they want the answer correct to a specified amount of decimal places). The thing is, though, that it's more fun to memorize as many digits of Pi as you can and have "Pi Battles" than it is to learn about loci. So come on, no geeks out there bothered with Pi? |

The digits I know? There isn't much point in doing that because for all you know I'm copying and pasting from the website. But here goes (don't cry if I make a mistake or two): 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419 716939937510582097494459230781640628620... OK, I'm gonna go sleep. |

hehehehheheh..... this is how many i can get..... (windows calculator... HEHEHE :LOL:) HEY!@!! guess what.... u can convert from decimal to binary to hex to oct and anything in between.... who needs a turing prog when u have windows calculartor in scientific mode.. ???!!!! first time i realy needed to use it.... who.,.. even has 'not' 'or' 'xor' 'and' and 'mod' <<< YA!~!!! MOD ROCKS!!!! good stuff..... anyways... PI:= 3.1415926535897932384626433832795 EHEHHEHE.... but i voted 10....... hahahah.. |
