Trick 6: Memorize the Value of Pi
                 ž  If you are also the one who always gets confused about the value of pi (who wouldn't since pi is a

                     never-ending number!), there is a neat trick to memorize the initial 7 digits. The trick is given
                     below:
                 ž  To remember the first seven digits of pi, count the number of letters in each word of the sentence:
                 ž “How I wish I could calculate pi.”
                 ž  This becomes 3.141592.

                                                       Amazing Truth


                ¢ 2,520 is the smallest number that can be exactly divided by 1 to 10.
                ¢ The number 2 is the smallest and also first prime number (since every other even number is
                    divisible by two).

                ¢ 2 and 5 are the only prime numbers that end in 2 or 5.
                ¢ FOUR is the only number in the English language that is spelt with the same number of letters as
                    the number itself.
                ¢ The easiest way to remember the value of Pi (3.1415926) is by counting each letter in the word

                    “May I have a large container of coffee”.
