RebeccaTinnelly 10 ffs he should be experimenting with masturbation poor boy. The 70K world record at a digit a second that 20 straight hours of remembering random numbers. That is insane!

Wow, awesome.

I bet he's got lots of mates...................

But why? What’s the point? It’s like when we used to do Logarithms in school - you’d spend ages doing all this working out then have to go and look at the anti-log book to get the answer - what the hell for?

That’s gonna be useful for him!

He is the youngest Briton .... do Britons generally spend time memorising Pi to many places ? ..

He is the youngest Briton .... do Britons generally try to recite Pi to many places ? ..

Well done you!! Highlighting your passion for maths. This is so needed for future engineering, space exploration et al

From a caring and quietly brilliant school.

That will not get you a girlfriend when you grow up boy. Better pick up a guitar.

He’s knows how to impress the ladies.

Who states all the pi's ?

Eh I’m stupid no!idea what you are talking about sorry am I only one ?

that should come in handy...

Good luck to the young fella but that exercise sounds like it is bordering on some sort of exploitation.

Impressive. Us mortals can manage about 5 places... Brexiteers think pi is either about a boy stuck in a boat or something served with custard.

A total pointless exercise
