Some random facts about pi:

In November 2016, R&D scientist Peter Trueb calculated 22,459,157,718,361 digits of pi – 9 trillion more digits than the previous world record set in 2013. According to New Scientist, “The final file containing the 22 trillion digits of pi is nearly 9 terabytes in size. If printed out, it would fill a library of several million books containing a thousand pages each."

The current world record holder for reciting pi is Suresh Kumar Sharma, who in October 2015 recited 70,030 digits. It took him 17 hours and 14 minutes to do so.
