i know up until when 7 repeats itself 26 times over and over

So many people already memorize Pi.
Why not memorize something unique like the root of 2?

or phi

I had 66 or something now I'm at whatever this is
3.141592653589793238462653383271

it should be 3.141592653589793238462643383279 I think now.. I got the 5 and 1 wrong on my first try but I don't have a number pad and I'm still mastering the numbers above the letters.

pie is infinity!

with all this talk about pi, i managed to remember 20 digits easy

Actually the thing I wanted to be discussed in here wasn't the Pi I was thinking we could share some new memory techniques/methods.
You see, numbers aren't the only thing you have to remember! Have you ever met a new person and he/she told you his/her name and you forgot it just two seconds later? Of course you have And maby there was a nice technique for remembering names right after you've heard it the first time. This would obv be more useful than remembering the stupid Pi

I can go up to 3.141592653589793 but it's completely pointless to go past 3.14 in most cases.

My method for memorizing that was starting little, then adding another number and so on. I just wrote it over and over on paper til I had it down pat. That's all.

3.14159

Repetition, repetition, repetition.
Btw, I suck at names. I can't even remember the name of my roommate last year 2nd semester...
But, when I try... I can memorize them pretty easy. For example, I was doing a field experience (for my teaching major) that same semester, and I memorized the names of all 15 students in one of the classes on the first day, and remembered them all when I went to the field experience again the week after.
