jyuan_us:""the digits of pi" may mean "a multi-digit and difficult to memorize number" sounds good!

jyuan_us:Wow!!! Sorry!! You know to manage any new environment well chould be a terrifing challenge for elder people^^. I promise I will make it better next time.

I like the nicknames you gave me. I am both a TRY and an FYI, and sometimes an FYR.

To avoid futher confusing people here, the whole paragraph is posted as below:

Advice came to me from all directions. An office-mate offered wisdom gleaned from his days at the frat house: "The key is to throw scissors early and often." Aaron Hoffman, a math graduate student at Brown University, suggested that I counter the risk of overthinking my throws with a seemingly random sequence of numbers. "You could memorize the digits of pi in base 3," he said. "Zero is rock, one is scissors and two is paper." Sure I could.
Non-ProZ.com Sep 7, 2004:
TRY: I guess, just guess, what base 3 refers to is the number associated with certain forms for each throw. And If luckily this guess is right, "the digits of pi" might not only refer to ��P�v�C^^"

Thanks, NieJing.
disagree lheng : 你可能用三进位制记住园周率. 也就是先把十进制的园周率转换成三进制,然后再记.
