About Pi and special kids

The second week of march was special at Gaithersburg HS, it was our 3rd celebration of pi day. Since March 14th was on a Saturday, we made it a pi week. The highlight of the week is the recitation of pi. Our first year with the pi recitation had a winner with a respectable 315 digits, last years champion upped the count to 500. This year, last year's champion improved upon his 500 when he faltered at the 675th digit of pi, impressive? Yes, but then sophomore William Briggs destroyed the record and competition reciting 2007 digits of pi. Yes, 2007!!!
