But can you count backwards from 10,000?
Can you recite from memory out to ten digits to Pi?
No, only 5 digits: “3.14159 that’s what pi is all the time” a little ditty learned in school. I never saw the need to memorize more with the pi key on a calculator. Besides, knowing when and how to use pi is more important than reciting it from memory.
I can still recite the Gettysburg Address from memory. I find that more satisfying than memorizing a string of numbers.
