If you like JogLab please use the 'share' button to tell others... I love the phrase "not at such tasks does the normal human mind excel" though if you use the right tools it's pretty good at it!

In truth, I have never been to a party involving a pi-enumeration-competition. I just liked some of the mnemonics that people have created about this.

I only know 5 myself, but I would only bet on someone at a geek party who could do at least a hundred digits. Have you actually won a geek bet with only 10 digits of pi?
