Pi is usually used in math equations, such as finding the circumference of a circle.

I know it as 3.14159. I'm sure there's a goofy reason why, but I don't remember it.

Ditto. 3.14 for me but when using a calculator, I always use the Pi button :P I'm sure I had to know more for some hardcore science courses but I blocked most of that nightmare from my memory.

The last three digits are diagonal on a remote?

3.1459 is all we really need in my physics class. We're only of on the circumference of the universe by a proton or two

I know a few hundred. I haven't spent much time on it, either... I just got bored after 250. :)

I know the first 8, 3.14159265, somehow, though have never really made the effort to learn it. It's just in there.

3.14159! For a very silly reason. But I won't bother explaining. I'll give the basics of it, though. :P

March 14th at 1:59 minutes, haha.

In eighth grade, if you memorized 100 digits by March 14, they gave you a pie. So I did. I only remember 63 though, and a few at the end (of the 100).

They're diagonal the other way on a number pad. ;)

That's 1000 digits, assuming I didn't forget any. (I don't think I did, I have a really good memory....obviously)

I won a school contest on Pi Day last year :D
