[SOLVED] #017 - Red - Easy As... Text
WHAT NUMBER IS THIS
In 1995 Goto Hiroyuki set the world record for memorizing this number. He recited it from memory to a staggering 42,195 places. Mats Bersten holds the slightly more bizarre record of reciting it while juggling three balls. In October 2004 he managed 2830 places. If mats lived in Perplex City he'd never be short of dinner party invitations.
There is also an Ace of spades in the bottom right hand corner. If you don't get this one right there is no helping you

Actually, they're just unlucky with the timing on this, but Akira Haraguchi managed to get as far as 83,431 digits in a 13 hour marathon at the start of this month...

Well, actually, the statement is still true - he did set the world record in 1995, it has just been beaten since...

I hope that, when it comes time to submit the answer, they don't expect us to write out the damn number.

I like annoying uber-geek mathematics friends by saying that pi is EXACTLY 3.141 and watching them explode in a rage of maths.
