MATHS MARVEL:

Did you know that Pi, represented by the symbol , is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter? It's an irrational number, meaning it goes on infinitely without repeating.

In 2015, Rajveer Meena from India achieved a remarkable feat by memorising the most decimal places of Pi – an astounding 70,000 digits! He accomplished this while wearing a blindfold during the entire recall process, which lasted nearly 10 hours.
