Wikipedia: Feynman point

Wikipedia: Feynman point The Feynman point comprises the 762nd through 767th decimal places of π, consisting of the digit 9 repeated six times. … The name refers to a remark made by the physicist Richard Feynman, expressing a wish to memorise the digits of π as far as that point so that when reciting them, he would be able to end with ‘… nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, and so on.’

Also: Do NOT convert pi to binary.
