PI or π
I know that it's a bit late, but this is a special after the recent ∏ day. For those of you who don't know, or simply can't remember, ∏ is the result of dividing the circumference of any given circle by the diameter of the same circle. For example, say you have a circle with a diameter of D. The circumference of the circle is ∏D.
PI is an irrational number, meaning that it contains an endless number of digits. This offers a challenge to any with a good memory, and PI memorising competitions have been set up across the globe. These people have extraordinary memory. For example, I have memorised a total of seventy digits of PI, as shown below.

This may seem impressive, but the Guinness World Record holder, Lu Chao of China, who broke the record in 2005, recited a total of 67890 digits.
Whoever can post me a program generating digits of pi will be featured in a future post.
