Nine-year-old Lucas Mason Yao loves the Vancouver Canucks, his pet bunny Chomp and pi, the mathematical constant that’s celebrated every March 14 around the world.
The feat that he achieved last year took 23 minutes to recite and earned him 115th place on the world ranking for pi memorization, a list that’s topped by a man from India who has memorized it to more than 70,000 digits.“I saw pi one day and I was like, I wanted to learn it,” said Yao. “So, afterward, he just kept going and he asked me about it too, ‘oh, do we want to go to 100, 500, or 1,000,’ and he just gets excited every time we try new digits,” she added.
