Pi Competition

Hi guys next week we will have our pi competition in the afternoon class of Maths!!!

To get you started, the first 100 digits of pi are:  3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 5820974944 5923078164 0628620899 8628034825 3421170679,

You can find the first 10,000 digits at http://www.math.utah.edu/~pa/math/pi.html

If you fancy a challenge you can try to beat Chao Lu (China) who recited Pi from memory to 67,890 places, at the Northwest A&F University, Shaanxi province, China, on 20 November 2005 and is the current Guinness World Record holder!!!!

On careful reflection rather than a box of chocolates as a prize, the prize will now be a..........Pie!!!

See you tomorrow
