Those who fear rows and rows of numbers, I recommend you to leave. Those who wonder what pi is so fascinating about, I recommend you to join me on this epic journey through pi.

EDIT: After having left this to rot for a few years, I have decided to correct some glaring typos. :D

Step 1: Grab Your Slice of Pi (and Please Don't Eat It 'till We're Done)

Now to get some pi to appreciate. There are a lot of websites offering up to 2 million digits of pi. Don't worry, as we are not going that deep. We are stopping at the 100th digit or so.

Here is a website you can go to get pi :

Here is a site to search pi digits :

Here are the 1st hundred decimal digits:

apparently of which (some) I have memorized. In the recent years after not actively revising I have forgotten some off the far end.

Step 2: Getting Started...

Here are the first 20 digits. Don't they look pretty?

3.14159265358979323846

I got a little too carried away and had to remove an extra 8 digits.

Step 3: Warmed Up?

I actually forgot a little something :

pi digits 15 to 25

32384626433 (look at the 1st picture)

Ok, lets carry on...

pi digits 21 to 30

Step 4: Getting Hungry for More?

the next 20:

50288419716939937510

I decided to show more at one go because there are some patterns spread out here.

Step 5: Feel a Little Twitchy?

pi digits 51-70

58209749445923078164

Is your stomach growling for more?

Step 6: You Are Quite Done...

The last 30 :

Whoa! What a big bite!

Step 7: Reflections

What were those for? For fun. Don't take them too seriously. Enjoy life. Takeaway a pi-zza (haha). Sit and eat. Forget all these. You will find it difficult at first.

Then come back to this instructable and repeat. Hopefully this has made your day.

Returning a few years later to look at your own Instructable is always fun :D
