Big slice of pi sets new record

A man from Kent has set a new British and European record by reciting the mathematical expression pi to more than 22,000 decimal places.

Daniel Tammet, 25, from Herne Bay, puts his ability to recall such a vast quantity of figures down to epileptic seizures he had during his childhood.

He used his record-breaking feat, which took nearly six hours, to raise money for the National Society for Epilepsy.

He said learning the number was "actually rather easy".
