He Memorized 100,000 π Digits! Towards Pi Day 2020 & Math Day in the Memory of Stephen Hawking
For the Love of Pi, Jonas von Essen accepted the World's Toughest Memory Challange. March 14 is now also the official International Day of Mathematics. As you may be aware, Pi Day 2020 marks the second anniversary since Professor Stephen Hawking passed away.

On March 7, 2020, Jonas von Essen challenged the World Record for the most digits of Pi recited.
In the Extreme Pi Matrix Challenge - the Olympus Mons of Memory, Jonas had to recall a string of 9 digits before and 9 digits after the randomly selected series within the 100,000 digits of the Pi book. He got up to a 22 streak in a row, which has never been done before. After taking one day of rest, the Olympus Mons of Memory was conquered, and Jonas got a streak of 50 in a row! No human ever has got even close to such a result!
To recite 100,000 Pi decimals in one go, the main rule was - Jonas can not make a single error. He was recalling all the numbers of Pi in the right order and was always under the supervision of two witnesses present in the room as well as the chairman of the Pi World Ranking List. As a result - Jonas von Essen is now officially #1 in Europe and the West in general with the result of 24,063 digits of Pi recalled. It is noteworthy that this was the first case of World Record attempt, which was accompanied by video recording and accessible to people around the world via a live stream that got over 178,000 video views, 113,727 minutes of watched time and 6,123 chat messages across the streamed channels within the 21 hr 58 min streamed time.
It was indeed an impressive run. Many more accomplishments are waiting ahead. After some rest, Jonas will keep practicing to reach the desired destination of 100,000 decimals of Pi recited in one go. On our side, we will have more time to prepare, so the overall set and settings of the live stream event will be as good as they can get.
We are grateful to our partners for showing their support and sharing this cause with the World: The Stephen Hawking Foundation, Big Think, Flammable Maths, Life Through a Mathematician's Eyes, Chilled Cow, Epic Maths Time, The Swedish Memory Sports Council, The Pi World Ranking List and Sweden’s National Museum of Science and Technology.
We are looking forward to bringing positive changes in human memory and letting the world see that the human mind has no boundaries. Let's continue to unite and give people a chance to witness and believe they, too, can improve themselves in any aspect and break illusional mental limits!
Let’s #MakeTheWorldRemember that #OurMindsAreLimitless

He’s probably lasered the digits on the back of his eyelids
Plot twist: He's just making up numbers but no one notices because it's too painstaking to find out.
I love how his socks don't match
Amazing! Paul Deretskiy sent me here
Thanks for the video!!!
He did a great job! I know 5000 digits of pi now. This is very inspirational, but 100,000 is a little redicilous tho. Anyway, I hope he'll get them all right on his next attempt. I think it's time for a new world record!

You cant calculate. Its just memory. But he transfom numbers in to pictures
I'm up to 200 and I can write them on a whiteboard easy enough but to read them out loud is significantly harder
You should remame the title from memorized to calculate heheh

Mathematics going against the grain; with name, surname and denomination of origin, the past has never been more present inside Exact Sciences, being the pioneer among thinkers and mathematicians in the past, because it was on the shoulders of giants that I saw the horizon in the view of Mathematics, with this great and majestic discovery about this enigmatic number of "Pi", an innovative discovery, with three integers and fifteen hundredths finite after the comma (3.15) a measure with total precision for the calculations of "Pi", where you can change the history of the Universe of Mathematics. Mathematics is studied, therefore, it is a human creation, and when studying it; it tells us about ourselves. "Mathematics the knowledge of thinking" the author Mr Sidney Silva, because each formula developed, has to know its essence to be so beautiful with surprising results. The Author Mr Sidney Silva. the work "The boldness of pi to be rational", scientifically proving that pi is Rational and Irreversible, and the square roots of 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10; 11; 12; 13; 14; 15; 16; 17; 18; 19; 20; 877; 350734139 is equal to the enigmatic number of pi.

@@supermfreak Hi, ich bin aus Duisburg und habe vor drei Monaten damit begonnen, Pi-Nachkommastellen auswendig zu lernen. In der Weltrangliste sind lediglich 2.443 Pi-Athleten aufgeführt, was recht exotisch anmutet. Überdies liegt der derzeitige Weltrekord (laut pi-world-ranking-list) bei 70.030 Nachkommastellen, aufgestellt von einem Inder am 21.10.2015. Dass das Auswendiglernen von Pi nicht zu den Volkssportarten zählt, ist mir schon klar, aber 2.443 von 7,8 Mrd. Menschen ergeben jämmerliche 0,000000313%. Hast Du eine Erklärung? Bist Du auch ein Pi-Nachkommastellen-Junkie? Die Mindestanzahl der Nachkommastellen beträgt 20, um ins Ranking aufgenommen zu werden. Das sollte doch eigentlich jeder Mensch (ohne geistige Einschränkungen) gebacken kriegen.

Bin schon der einzigste aus meiner Klasse, der sich mit Pi vor dessen Thema im Matheunterricht auseinander gesetzt hat. Bisher kann ich nur elf Nachkommastellen, ziemlich wenig, aber ich lerne sie auch nicht sehr regelmäßig. Ich komme, Ranking (in ein paar Jahren :P)!

@@supermfreak Man kann mitunter eine Wette gewinnen, wenn man z. B. jemanden fragt, wieviele Liter der Unterschied bei der Volumenberechnung eines Silos mit einem Durchmesser von 5 m und einer Höhe von 20 m beträgt, wenn man einmal 2 und einmal 50 Pi-Nachkommastellen in die Rechnung einfließen lässt. Ich selber bin übrigens bei 870 Stellen angelangt. Mit 50 Stellen habe ich begonnen und dann immer 10, 20 oder 30 weitere dran gehängt. Irgendwann ergeben die Ziffern einen "Sinn", d. h., auf 3,1415926535 kann nur 8979323846 folgen, danach beginnt das nächste 10er Pack "logischerweise" mit 26 und geht mit 43383279 weiter. Und hey, ich bin 57! Da wirst Du es doch wohl schaffen, 50 Stellen auswendig zu lernen 😉. Nicht verbissen büffeln, sondern hin und wieder einen Blick darauf werfen und im Kopf wiederholen. Und so weiter. Irgendwann sind 100 Stellen langweilig und man will MEEEHR 😆 ...
