Oxford, England. The day is 3/14, a date written in the American alphabet, meaning pi. Daniel Tammet, an autistic man with Asperger’s syndrome, recites the first 22,514 digits of pi from memory in 5 hours and 9 minutes, without ever getting a single one wrong. I recommend his book “Born in a Blue Day.”
