8 year old reciting 200 digits of Pi

My son competed with 21 other kids from his school from 3rd through 8th grade in the school's 2nd annual Pi day held on 3/14. The first year was won by an 8th grader with 128 digits. My son learned 200 over a 9 day period. The girl two over to the right of him won with 202 digits.

he's adorable! i hope the mother of this child didnt force this upon him though

@fuckkye Well I hate to be the one to tell you but both his mother and father did force this upon him. Cant you see the fear in his eyes. He knows that if makes one mistake its back home and he can have his choice of the stockade or the rack.

@QwertyMandarin I suppose so. However that's simply semantics. The vast majority of individuals would say "one hundred and 27" when giving an answer of 127 when in fact they would be wrong. The correct answer would be one hundred twenty seven but let's not split hairs over pettiness. Wait, come to think of it he was wrong. Excuse me while I go wake my son from his slumber to beat him.

@lolocaustism Yes. That is 201 digits but the contest counted the digits beyond the decimal point.

@noxure That's an Egyptian Fraction of 355/113: an aproximation of Pi-Greek.

Wow

Clever kid, if he uses the same determination he used to learn this in other aspects of his life, he'll be  extremmely successful.
