If you like to do lazy calculations on Google and are nerdy enough to want to memorize the digits of Pi, this might be for you.

I got to 12!

Typing in a Google search for a simple math expression or just the word calculator will open Google’s built in calculator. Frequent users may have noticed the shiny new π button on the left-hand corner.

Click this button and the calculator turns into a memorization game with the digits of Pi. Play along and see how many digits you can memorize! The mini-game seems to be available on PC and mobile so you can give it a try anytime.

The mini-game as it appears on Android.

This Easter Egg was originally put in by Google in 2021 to celebrate Pi Day. It’s back this year.

Of course, this is probably not the best way to memorize the endless digits of Pi but it sure is a fun distraction. I don’t even remember what it was I was calculating before I discovered this.

Happy Pi Day!
