Well you can get the first 9 digits just by wishing: "How I wish I could recollect pi easily today" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piphilology Seems a little harsh to reject people for that. Though on t'other hand I can't remember ever having needed to know _any_ digits of pi for work purposes, so perhaps it's fair ...
