How to memorize 70,000 digits of Pi?

You can memorize 70,000 digits of Pi by breaking it into small pieces and practicing them like a fun game.

Imagine you have a huge wall made out of tiny bricks, each brick has one digit on it. That’s what Pi looks like: just a long list of numbers. Now imagine you're playing a game where you learn one row of bricks at a time, and every day, you add a new row to your wall. Soon, you’ll have a whole big wall!

Like Learning a Song

You can think of memorizing Pi like learning the words to a long song. At first, you just know the first few lines, maybe 10 digits. Then you learn the next part, and keep adding more. You practice it every day, and soon the whole song is stuck in your head.

Use Your Fingers or Feet

You can even use your fingers to count along as you say each digit out loud, like counting steps while walking. Or write them on paper and color them in, making it fun and visual. Every time you review, it gets easier.

With lots of practice, just like learning how to ride a bike or tie your shoes, memorizing 70,000 digits of Pi can feel as easy as counting from 1 to 10!
