Later computers calculated pi to extraordinary numbers of digits (2.7 trillion as of August 2010), [4] and people began memorizing more and more of the output. The world record for the number of digits memorized has exploded since the mid-1990s, and it stood at 100,000 as of October 2006. [ 6 ]
On Pi Day, 2015, he claimed to be able to recite 111,701 digits. [2] Despite Haraguchi's efforts and detailed documentation, the Guinness World Records have not yet accepted any of his records set. Haraguchi views the memorization of pi as "the religion of the universe", [3] and as an expression of his lifelong quest for eternal truth.

Pi Day is celebrated each year on March 14 because the date's numbers, 3-1-4 match the first three digits of pi, the never-ending mathematical number. "I love that it is so nerdy. We are pi nerds ...
A sequence of six consecutive nines occurs in the decimal representation of the number pi (π), starting at the 762nd decimal place. [1] [2] It has become famous because of the mathematical coincidence, and because of the idea that one could memorize the digits of π up to that point, and then suggest that π is rational.
In 1977, after losing interest in engineering, Mahadevan set to memorize substantial parts of pi. On 5 July 1981, he recited from memory the first 31,811 digits of pi . [ 1 ] This secured him a place in the 1984 Guinness Book of World Records , and he has been featured on Larry King Live and Reader's Digest .
The last 100 decimal digits of the latest world record computation are: [1] 7034341087 5351110672 0525610978 1945263024 9604509887 5683914937 4658179610 2004394122 9823988073 3622511852 Graph showing how the record precision of numerical approximations to pi measured in decimal places (depicted on a logarithmic scale), evolved in human history.
