    Answer in Progress on YouTube has a cool video on memory tricks and memorizing Pi [1], worth a watch.

    [1] i memorized 3,141 digits of pi to prove a point (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=KAjkicwrD4I" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=KAjkicwrD4I)
