I recorded this show and show it sometimes in class. His '22,500' places of
pi is billed as a memory event but I have wondered if he was not 'just'
calculating as he went along. Chao Lu may still hold the record at 67,890
places.
I found his meeting with Kim Peek to be interesting, too.

If you are in the intelligence chapter, here's a resource. Around 23

There is no straightforward formula for pi that he could have us

Allen:
Is it possible that he picked up on a pattern of change in the
digits and was using a IF THEN type of algorithm to
predict the next values?
The miracle is being able to produce a string of 22,500 words
that are comprised of only 10 words.

1. You'd have to check this out with a pure mathematician, but I don't
think there is
