Wasn't there some dude who they dubbed the "Human calculator" who memorized a lot of it and took 3 hours to recite it back to these mathematicians? I saw it on TV once.

it was probably the guy that got the european record, he recited 26000 digits in 4 hours. Why on earth would anyone do that?

How boring is your life if you'd willingly watch a guy recite the digits of pi for three hours :P?
3.14. I'll do my best to erase my mind of the trivial Pi version that is more than three numbers long. :P I just don't find this knowledge to be helpful.

I think it's almost easy for them. IIRC there was a documentary that explained how they memorized things and why they were capable of memorizing so many digits. Something about colors and shapes. :?

yeah it is actually a condition few people have where they see numbers as colors and also use smells to memorize (which by the way should work for anyone because smell is the closest sense to memory in the brain).
These people see the digits as a story or some crap and recite the digits that way. I read that in an article.

IIRC it's called Asperges. I have read an interesting novel about a kid who has it. It's called "The curious incident of the dog in the night time".
My math teacher from many years ago told me that some people spend their entire lives calculating the full value of pi. I've heard someone has gotten over a million digits calculated..
