Pi- Easy as 3.14159265...

How I wish I could recollect pi easily today!

Well here is a way to recollect pi easily today:

Count the number of letters in each word in the first statement and that number corresponds to a digit in pi.

How-3
I-1
Wish-4
I-1
Could-5
.
.
.
You should get 3.1459265 after finishing the phrase.


This phrase is called a PIEM. Another piem is:

"The point I said a blind Bulgarian in France would know."

Notice that point is in red. This is so becuase it actually represents the decimal point and should not be counted as a digit.

Have fun making your own piems and post them in a comment. Every once in a while I will post a piem.
