One March 14 (Pi Day, 3.14) my nephew Tony won a contest by memorizing pi to 200 (that's right, two hundred) decimal places. By doing so, and proving it by recitation, he won a genuine Pizza Hut "Personal Pan Size" pizza!

The nearest runner-up only did 25 decimal places.

Tony is now studying theoretical physics at the Illinois Institute of Technolody. The teacher who had to check Tony's recitation is now watching "the little birdies" from a special room at the State Center For The Reality Challenged. Considering those who are at IIT, I'm not certain there's a lot of difference between the institutions.
