Just in time for Pi Day, I entered a talent show where I recited 500 digits of pi from memory. Now, thanks to the miracle of modern technology, you can see the awesomeness for yourself!
So the Fukui Talent Show was on Saturday night and I recited 500 digits of Pi from memory and it was awesome. The talent show was held to help raise money for Sopa, a girl in Thailand who needs $$$ to go to college. Each act had a cup or guitar case or some kind of container that people could put $$$ into. 100 yen was equal to one vote, and the person with the most votes (or who raised the most money) won. Of course I won and people spent 7000 yen voting for my act! I got a small bag of prizes, a can of beer, and 5000 yen in cash. Being the stand up individual I am, I recontributed my 5000 yen prize money back to Sopa. So I single handedley earned 12,000yen for this girl's college education in the 3 minutes it took me to recipte pi. After handing back the 5000 yen I smiled to the audience, "... but I'm keeping the beer!"
Happy Pi Day!
