Japanese mental health councellor Akira Haraguchi has broken the world record for reciting pi after memorising the first 83,431 digits of the number.Impressive stuff indeed.
What's notable however is that Haraguchi-san had to stop three hours into the record attempt and start again when he lost his place...
Makes you wonder if there's a world record for reciting pi while pissed, I can imagine it now ...
"3.141592 ... 4? ... fuckit ... 3.8542 ... no, no lemme try again. 3.14155555 ... I love you, I really, really love you. Can I throw up now ... " and so on for ten minutes before the record attempt ends in the attemptee falling asleep in a plateful of egg fried rice.
