at the school I've just finished working at the Maths department had a competition to see who could remember the most digits of pi. The prize went to a first year who could remember 152 digits

I hold an element of surprise

Look at that. Look at that. "Accident Blackspot"? These aren't accidents. They're throwing themselves into the road gladly. Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness. Throw yourself into the road, darling - you haven't got a chance.

Close enough for most people.
22/7 = 3.14286
Pi = 3.14159
To 5dp.

When I was exceptionally bored in one of my A-level maths classes I seem to recall calculating that the cube root of 31 was closer to pi than 22/7...how sad
