What's the latest digit count on Pi?

In 2002 someone got the record for calculating it to 1.24 trillion places, but I haven't seen any updates on it since.

At the rate that technology advances, I would guess that it would be somewhere in the 10 trillion range.

Do I detect the tiniest hint of sarcasm in your post?

I knew a guy that had the first 65 digits to Pi memorized.

That's all.

While in high school, we had a club called Math Club. A couple of us made it a point to see who could memorize the most digits in Pi. I don't remember who had the most, but I remember I had memorized over 200.
We also had this banner that stretched across all 4 walls in the room that had something like 250 digits of Pi. Itwas our study material .
Among other geeky things.

My maths teacher used to be able to recite Pi to 50 decimal places, he left the school a few years ago and i was talking to another math teacher i told her that my old teacher could say Pi accurate to 50 d.p, she just laughed and said 'how do you know he was right' turns out he was just ****ing with us.
so based on that
my guess would be:
3.141592653589793238467563524341547697785652775872 55254757462543621562897808084352413142547879785757 7217181814867649928272707848648623ish

Actually, I've been counting Pi since grade 9 math.
I'm current at 3 digits. 3.14.
