The rest of the documentary is accessible through the other videos that the guy uploaded.

Used to be able to do it to the 100th, but now I can only remember like 60.

I was a very bored kid in 9th grade math.

Yeah, I can do that.

I just don't feel like it.

Bullocks.

This guy made a smile on my face, he has probably no social life but his brain is one in likely Trillions. My IQ has gone to crap since i've been more interested in Jack Daniels than school

Yeah, he should be playing Battlefield! Why's he wasting his life memorizing a fundamental constant?

BTW, I've memorized it to 3.141592653. I used to remember the next 4 digits.

My favorite equation, the most beautiful equation ever:

e^(i*pi) = -1
