h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You have to spare the crocodile from plummeting by building its path with your memory of the digits of Pi.

I scored 9. I know, it's tragic.

11 - even sadder...

turvy

Jeez - by your standards I'm like the coolest dude ever! I only got 8! (I thought I knew 9, but the 9th digit I gave was pi rounded up to 9 digits...)

to make you all feel a bit better. 97.

I only got 7. Knowing pi to 7 places, given the radius of the earth I can work out the circumference to within 30 cm. Who'd need any more accurate than that?

Someone wanting to build a circumglobal telescope array? Just a guess.

sigsfried: 97?

I was quite bored. I think if I have got that far I should aim to get into the high score. On my first attempt I got 50 odd. The top high score is worrying though I think it was over 10,000. Even I think that is mad.

4.

Probably good enough for an engineer.

How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy chapters involving quantum mechanics.

That generally suffices for me.

B

Just six, which is better than I thought I'd do.

18 - not too bad, for me.

If you got to my Entry on 'Categorised Mnemonics (unedited) at A2786321) you'll find a mnemonic for remembering, not only pi but also its reciprocal :

To remember the digits of Pi (3.14159)to 13 places:

How I wish I could determine
In circle round
The exact relation
Lindemann found.
The number of letters in each word gives the digits in Pi.

4. Reciprocal of pi (0.318310): Can I remember the reciprocal?

Again, the number of letters in each word gives the digits.
