  While a high school student I memorized the sq. roots of all of the integers from 0 - 12 to 3 decimal places, some of them to 10 places. I started on pi and went to 100 places, then it was pointed out to me that I was reading incorrectly the table of digits (which was arranged in long rows with spaces every 10 digits, making it easy to get the impression that it was to be read vertically as columns of rows of 10 digits each). I still remember the 1st ten, though (and most of the sq. root values). Interesting site.
