Hey, I feel attacked. What's wrong with memorizing digits of Pi?
- coldtea 5y agoFor starters, they're infinite, so it's a futile endeavour...
- stinos 5y agoIs life itself really more than a series of rather futile endeavours? The point is that futility is, luckily, orthogonal to being enjoyable.
- munch117 5y agoInfinite? Only if you include duplicates...
- coldtea 5y agoOr if you include order, which is what was meant (that's called literal irony)
- dibujante 5y agoI think you will quickly find that there are only 10 distinct digits found within pi.
- matthewmacleod 5y agoThis is a very base-10 mindset. In fact, if we use base-π representation then π=1 and memorisation is trivial. QED.
- dibujante 5y agoOh no, then if n=∞, there are infinite digits in pi!
- JackFr 5y agoI got you -- it's 0 through 9.
- karmakaze 5y agoYou should have been memorizing Tau, of course! Don't embarrass the human race to our galactic neighbours. Imagine what we'd think of receiving a signal that was an encoding of e/2?
