If anyone is curious, I looked it up and The Guinness Book of World Records currently recognizes Rajveer Meena as the world record holder for Pi memorization. He recited 70’000 digits of Pi while blindfolded in about ten hours in 2015. I can’t even begin to understand how someone could actually do that.
I memorized 100 digits some years ago using physical memory. I would type the digits of pi on the numpad and memorize the movements of my hand, how it feels and which button goes when by position. Then when I would have to recite it, I’d imagine a numpad, move my hand and just say the number that corresponds to the imaginary button I’m pressing.
Don’t know if that could work for 70k digits though
