@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ Pi to 100 binary fractional digits is:
Among the first 50 billion digits the most common one is 8, then 4, 2, 7, 0, 5, 9, 1, 6 and 3.
Some people memorize digits of pi for [fun](fun.md) and competition, the official [world](earth.md) record as of 2022 is 70030 memorized digits, however Akira Haraguchi allegedly holds an unofficial record of 100000 digits (made in 2006). Some people make [mnemonics](mnemonic.md) for remembering the digits of pi (this is known as *PiPhilology*), for example *"Now I fuck a pussy screaming in orgasm"* is a sentence that helps remember the first 8 digits (number of letters in each word encodes the digit).

**PI IS NOT [INFINITE](infinity.md)**. [Soyence](soyence.md) popularizators and nubs often say shit like "OH LOOK pi is so special because it infiniiiiiite". Pi is completely finite with an exact value that's not even greater than 4, what's infinite is just its expansion in [decimal](decimal.md) (or similar) numeral system, however this is nothing special, even numbers such as 1/3 have infinite decimal expansion -- yes, pi is more interesting because its decimal digits are non-repeating and appear [chaotic](chaos.md), but that's nothing special either, there are infinitely many numbers with the same properties and mysteries in this sense (most famously the number [e](e.md) but besides it an infinity of other no-name numbers). The fact we get an infinitely many digits in expansion of pi is given by the fact that we're simply using a system of writing numbers that is made to handle integers and simple fractions -- once we try to write an unusual number with our system, our [algorithm](algorithm.md) simply ends up stuck in an [infinite loop](infinite_loop.md). We can create systems of writing numbers in which pi has a finite expansion (e.g. base pi), in fact we can already write pi with a single symbol: *pi*. So yes, pi digits are interesting, but they are NOT what makes pi special among other numbers.
