        Im a geek but I’m not sure how much Pi I know….

        lets try – heres my guess until I’m unsure

        3.1415926535 and now I’m not sure – i think its 879 or 789…

        My super geeky party trick is to receipt the periodic table in order of atomic mass – needless to say, i don’t get invited to many parties anymore lol

        Hey 836newg36!

        Well now that Matthew has made such a valiant attempt at answering, I am going to lose my nerd status, because I only know pi to 3.1459.. I just could not remember any more of it!

        I’m so sorry for not knowing more of it.. please let me be a nerd.. I have other nerdy/geeky talents! I can make batteries out of lemons, I know the periodic table song, and I can recite the big bang theme tune without making mistakes!

        I know pi to 10 decimal places like Matthew, though it’s not something I need to pull out very often to be fair!
