I'm moving this over to a new thread. I'm determined to prove that juggling while reciting pi to 139 decimals isn't all that hard. It turns out that same guy has actually done 230 digits before so I'll aim to beat that.
Pi Juggling
My current goal is 250 digits while juggling 4 balls but my juggling skills are gonna hold me back for a while. I'm betting I can get 250 w/3 balls in about 2 weeks time which would still put me as the North American Pi Juggling record holder and 3rd in the world (2nd place is 1088 and I don't care that much).
I'm currently at 72 digits after less than an hour. Please share any words of encouragement or ridicule for being such a loser.
Edit: and I'm gonna do it while wearing a durka
2nd Edit: and possibly in an Indian accent

A noble endeavor. And if the PhD thing doesn't pan out you have a back up.

I found this site on the web and it lists two records for pi juggling.
Mats Bergsten

accuracy : 9778
time : 1 hour 20 minutes 45 seconds
Andreas Lietzow
14 Dec 2003 - 23 Sep 2004
accuracy : 1088
time needed : 19 min 41 sec
I think that you could do 1089 digits.

"I found this site on the web" or you can click the link in the OP...
That guy with the 1088 has also done 288 while juggling 5 balls i think that's pretty impressive. I think I'm gonna stop after attaining the North American record though I dont really have the patience to go for over 1000.

I might could go for a 5 ball record. Maybe try 100 digits.

You need to do 289 for the 5 ball record. Good luck

Just thought I'd help.Read pi while juggling? I'm sure it's a seperate record but one worth attempting.
