Man Recites Pi to 100,000 Places
A Japanese mental health counselor recited pi to
100,000 decimal places from memory on Wednesday, setting what he claims
to be a new world record.
Akira Haraguchi, 60, needed more than
16 hours to recite the number to 100,000 decimal places, breaking his
personal best of 83,431 digits set in 1995, his office said Wednesday.
He made the attempt at a public hall in Kisarazu, just east of Tokyo.
