Sometimes in life you have to value your talents when no one else does.
Like this guy, who sent his application to Guinness World Record for memorising the value of Pi to… not 4, not 5, not 6 but TWO decimals.
But Guinness World Record would have none of it and the officials told him that he doesn’t qualify for the record.
Not that he stood a chance in the first place because guess what, he had gotten even those two decimals wrong. Instead of 3.14, he remembered 3.11.
Good folks at Guinness World Record were very polite in their rejection, though. The guy, named ‘Sir Michael’ on Twitter, put it up and he was clearly disheartened.

People had all sorts of reactions to this, though.
this is the hardest I’ve laughed in 3.11 weeks

Thank you for your support in what is one of the top 3.11 most difficult days of my life.

Give it another shot at three digits. Eventually you’ll hone in on their arbitrary requirements.

Harsh to mention the error.

Just heartbreaking. Really. I hope you have a better 3.11 days ahead. pic.twitter.com/nIPG0WdAOK

It’s just The Man trying to keep you down. Keep working and you’ll get that record! Don’t let them ground your dreams. pic.twitter.com/QGwVMOEhFj

I think he should resubmit and claim a world record for the shortest incorrect attempt at reciting digits of pi. https://t.co/b25Lade724

This makes me want the job of writing letters to those who fall short of Guinness World Book records. https://t.co/h8IwyAW7j6
