	Good thing you added in the number of guesses feature. I got six digits, but the last four were due to some good (lucky) guessing on my part.

	@DerKomissar: If there was no limit on the number of wrong answers, any idiot could get 150 just by typing 123456789012345678901234567890...

	@davidr. i am that idiot. i knew the first two, but came unstuck with the limit. a 5 mistakes max is a good limit. they shoudl have added it to the 2-letter words quiz they did previuosly.

	Good quiz. Got 15. Knew 12, last three were guesses. 3-23 is a pretty big range (since 75% of people are in it right now). Would be nice if it could break that up a little more. 23 digits of pi is a lot more impressive than 3.

	Ugh, the only gripe I have is that it doesn't seem to like typing in fast. I kept loosing chances because I'd type 3141 and only have 3 and 1 accepted before it thought I was trying to type 41 in as a guess.

	I thought this would be a bit of a dumb idea for a quiz until I saw the mistake limit. That makes it a superb quiz. Anyway, I knew the first seven, guessed on the eighth (because I knew the seventh rounded up), and that was it for me. But I'm OK with that- this is a great one. (Plus, despite being a math major, perfect test scores, blah blah blah, I never had any reason to memorize this.) Additional bonus on this quiz: it's the only one where the stats page is guaranteed to be listed by order of answers in addition to percentage correct, since you can't get one right unless you got the one before it right!

	I agree with DWolf. I got 21, but was surprised to see I was lumped in with everyone who could remember more than the first two. Here's how I managed to remember 21 of the digits: http://pi.ytmnd.com/

	Should have waited to release this one on "Pi Day" - that would have been perfect

	For the people who got between 3 and 23 - look at the results for the individual digits. The number next to the last digit you got - that's the percentage of people who made it as far as you did.

	I was thinking about this as a quiz, but had no idea how it would be possible - nicely done :)

	aerodynamic:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 03:00 GMT	1 point
	@captain, 20-25 would not be enough. This site appears to generally be for the more "nerdy-inclined", and so there are people who can get well over one hundred, especially past 25 (I'm not one of them). If you can't, then this quiz just isn't for you, go take another one.

	Good point, Mechafox.

	Will the 0.7% of people who got all of them, please smash yourself over the head with a coca cola bottle.

	Trying again . . . 150 digits, with no mistakes, in exactly 3 minutes (2 minutes remaining). I suppose I should've left 1:46 seconds on the clock, so I could say I'd done it in 3:14. ;)

	"I did 3 chicks, then I pointed to the door. 1 joined in, so that made it 4. I snapped 1 time, then called another 5. Add 'em all up and that makes 9. They're average age, 26 (point) 5. Now that's what I call gettin' some pi."

	@Josh: What if they accidently the whole bottle?

	Edge:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 05:58 GMT	1 point
	I got 11, then whiffed on the 12th. I'm pleased with that. An...erm, interesting quiz

	slew:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 05:58 GMT	3 points
	Aww, you have to guess them in order! Just Kidding, definitely a different kind of quiz.

	stealthamo:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 06:03 GMT	1 point
	i knew the first ten because that's how long pi gets on my calculator. i was able to get one more, but that's it.

	bsd987:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 06:04 GMT	-1 points
	wooo 16/150.

	montecarlo:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 06:26 GMT	15 points
	sorry if this is a bit off-topic... i vote that the prime numbers quiz be implemented in this fashion too.
