It seems that everyone has there own tips for memorizing Pi. I find it
easiest to divide Pi into 50 numbers in a section. This is how I am able to
do it:
3 . 14159265358979323 - I still remember this much from age 16.
8 - I just ate.
46264 - COOL mirror image number.
33 - Rhyms with tree-tree? (This speeellin of 'rhym' doesn't look right be
the spelling checker okayed it.)
832 - This is a popular dialing prefix in my area.
795 - My dad used to have a post office box with this number.
0288 - I like numbers that start with zero.
4 - How many digits are in the following year?
1971 - I didn't like the 70's. (In general that is.)
69 - Two years earlier. (First year of CV joints on Volkswagen Beetles.)

7510 - Last number in this section
5820 - the first two digit are the 7 & 5 of the last section reversed + 1.
