I memorized pi to a hundred digits out of boredom in middle school, and I naturally did the rhythm thing, mostly with triplets of digits, sometimes otherwise.
The interesting thing is that I can't remember any of it without using the rhythm to help me; for example, if you asked me "what comes next after the digits '197'", I have no way to answer that question without going through the digits until I get to the part that goes "..795 0288; 4-1-9-7-1 693 993..." and then going, aha, here it is. If you started ten digits in, grouped the digits differently, and read them off to me in a different cadence, I wouldn't even recognize it was pi!
- Natsu 16y agoI'm the same way. I had to go through all of pi to find the part after 197. For me, it's broken up like this: 3.141 59 26 53 58 979 323 846 264 3383 27950 288 4197 169 399 375 10 58 So it was even a bit hard to see the 197 in there, because it's "4197" for me.

(41971 in BASIC ROM, 50288 within the $C000 hidden RAM area). http://sta.c64.org/cbm64mem.html http://sta.c64.org/cbm64mem.html The computers you use change how you think, permanently.
