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 ]
The word "cadae" is the alphabetical equivalent of the first five digits of π, 3.1415. [5] The form of a cadae is based on pi on two levels. There are five stanzas, with 3, 1, 4, 1, and 5 lines each, respectively for a total of fourteen lines in the poem. Each line of the poem also contains an appropriate number of syllables.
Haraguchi holds the current unofficial world record for reciting 10,000 digits of pi in 16 hours, starting at 9:00 a.m. (16:28 GMT) on October 3, 2006. He equaled his previous record of 83,500 digits by nightfall and then continued until stopping with digit number 100,000 at 1:28 a.m. on October 4, 2006.
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.

Keith has written several long works of constrained writing, such as Cadaeic Cadenza, a story in which the number of letters in successive words spells out the first 3835 digits of the number pi; [3] the book Not A Wake: A Dream Embodying π's Digits Fully for 10000 Decimals, which similarly encodes the first 10,000 digits of pi with texts ...
English: This image shows a colored distribution of repeating digits of pi. Double digits are highlighted yellow, triple digits are highlighted green, and the Feynman point is highlighted red. The Python script to produce the file is in the file itself — just remove the first line and rename it Pi_digits_distribution.py .
Yasumasa Kanada (金田 康正, Kanada Yasumasa, 1949 – 11 February 2020) was a Japanese computer scientist most known for his numerous world records over the past three decades for calculating digits of π. He set the record 11 of the past 21 times.
