How precisely do you know the value of pi?
Pie? Where? 5%  5%  [ 4 ]
I get by with using pi = 3. 0%  0%  [ 0 ]
3.14 - like most people. 39%  39%  [ 31 ]
3-6 digits - it's good to be accurate. 33%  33%  [ 26 ]
7-15 digits - I try. 9%  9%  [ 7 ]
16-50 digits - I REALLY try. 6%  6%  [ 5 ]
51+ digits - I've spent countless hours mastering the value of pi! 9%  9%  [ 7 ]

Pi is usually used in math equations, such as finding the circumference of a circle.

I know it as 3.14159. I'm sure there's a goofy reason why, but I don't remember it.

Ditto. 3.14 for me but when using a calculator, I always use the Pi button :P I'm sure I had to know more for some hardcore science courses but I blocked most of that nightmare from my memory.

3.1459 is all we really need in my physics class. We're only of on the circumference of the universe by a proton or two

I know a few hundred. I haven't spent much time on it, either... I just got bored after 250. :)

I know the first 8, 3.14159265, somehow, though have never really made the effort to learn it. It's just in there.

3.14159! For a very silly reason. But I won't bother explaining. I'll give the basics of it, though. :P

March 14th at 1:59 minutes, haha.

In eighth grade, if you memorized 100 digits by March 14, they gave you a pie. So I did. I only remember 63 though, and a few at the end (of the 100).

They're diagonal the other way on a number pad. ;)

That's 1000 digits, assuming I didn't forget any. (I don't think I did, I have a really good memory....obviously)

I won a school contest on Pi Day last year :D
