    Who is this 16 year old boy?
    What is the name of the boy who at age 16 (in year 2001) recited from memory the first 7000 decimal places of the decimal expansion of PI (math. PI = 3.14... ) both backward and forward. And also please tell me where was he born?

    I fond someone who did it forwards and backwards but only like 2000 places and he's about 30 or something.

    Not sure where he was born. The article says "of Nizamabad" (India). But I'm not sure that means he was born there vs just lives there.

    (second link on Google for the search "boy 16 2001 pi decimal expansion". The first link was this page :) )
