A good way to memorize pi. An hour and you are done! My chinese is not good enough though... (it is chinese, no?)

Japanese, I understood some of it, and it made me feel special =D
(I started to learn Japanese)

It's pretty standard to count digits only after the decimal place, isn't it? Anyone who thinks the first 100 digits end in "70679" is going by that convention.

I'm not sure what's "standard" but it's pretty arbitrary. If you can remember the 3, you surely can remember the 1. Whatever one you start on only makes one digit difference anyway. it starts from 3 regardless of what we actually count as the beginning, if you know what I'm saying.

Sure, it's arbitrary, but you have to choose some standard, or else the people who memorize and calculate digits of pi will waste time doing the wrong stuff.

pie...

... are square.

We should ask what convention Mats used to count digits in his Everest Test.

Well if you go by decimal places, yes it starts to the right of the point. "digits" makes it ambiguous because the 3 is also a digit.

Of course it's ambiguous if there's no standard, that's my whole point. But for many many years the community of people who care about the digits of pi have decided that by "digits" they mean "number of numerals after the decimal point". In this subfield of recreational math, that's the definition used. If you have heard of this standard, then it's not ambiguous, because you know exactly what is meant. The standard gives an otherwise vague term a precise definition.

So far I have been listening to the vid for almost 20 minutes...is that normal?

Then why ask, if you knew?
I wasn't trying to argue. I was simply going by the non-recreational definitions and trying to figure out what a recreational person thinks about it. I figured it could be different, and it turns out it was.

A digit is a digit and is always a digit. A decimal place is a decimal place always. There's no confusion if those definitions are adhered to. But they aren't.

 

[qqwref]

When did I ask about it? ("..., isn't it?" wasn't a question - it's the same as "..., right?".) It sure seems like you were trying to argue - you don't seem willing to accept the definition everyone involved in pi memorization/computation adheres to.

 

[Rinfiyks]

Wikipedia states the first 50 decimal places not including the 3.
And another Wikipedia article on pi agrees with this.
Wolfram Alpha says that the 3rd digit of pi is 4.
3.14
Confusion seems to arise when someone shortens "decimal digits" to "digits".

someone said they started to learn japanese. if you watch the whole video (watching each digit roll accross the screen), you should be able to recite the words to the song by digit 2000. lmao

For anyone actually learning Japanese, 7 is also shichi.

For anyone actually learning Japanese, 7 is also shichi.

And 4 is also shi.
