The Form 2 student of St George's Girls School achieved the feat on Feb 9. She said her achievement came after consistent practice over two months during which she set a daily target of memorising at least 10 digits. “It was difficult at first, but once I got into the rhythm, it became easier to remember the numbers,” she said after receiving a computer and certificate from the Malaysia Book of Records. Her mother, S Thilagam, said Poonyamitra also won the Memory Athlete category in the ninth season of Kids Got Talent Malaysia last year. “She also auditioned online for season 21 of America's Got Talent in January and emerged runner-up in an Asean world records event last year. Pi is the the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle. It is commonly expressed as the approximate fraction 22/7 or 3.14159... which never ends, and which never contains a permanently repeating pattern. The largest calculated value of pi is 314 trillion digits, a record set by StorageReview on March 14 this year.
