**MIND-BOGGLING FEAT OF MATHEMATICAL MASTERY: 12-YEAR-OLD BRITISH WHIZ KID REPEATS 280 DIGITS OF PI FROM MEMORY IN RECORD-BREAKING 60 SECONDS**
In a jaw-dropping display of cerebral prowess, 12-year-old British schoolboy, Reginald Pembly, has stunned mathematicians and pi enthusiasts worldwide by reciting an astonishing 280 digits of the mathematical constant pi from memory in a blistering 60 seconds.
Eyewitnesses claim that Reginald, a Year 7 student at St. Wobbly’s School in Surrey, coolly rattled off the digits with the speed and accuracy of a supercomputer, leaving onlookers agog with wonder.
“I was just sitting there, and suddenly he starts going: ‘3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679…’,” said a flabbergasted classmate, Nigel Fizzypop. “I mean, I couldn’t even remember my own phone number, let alone pi to 280 digits!”
Reginald’s remarkable achievement has sent shockwaves through the mathematical community, with many experts hailing him as a prodigy.
“This is an absolutely preposterous feat,” declared Dr. Emily Brainypants, a leading mathematician at Cambridge University. “I’ve seen some impressive calculations in my time, but this takes the biscuit – or should I say, the pi(e)!”
Reginald’s parents, Bertrand and Maude Pembly, were equally astonished by their son’s incredible talent.
“We always knew Reggie was special, but we had no idea he was a pi-whiz of this caliber!” exclaimed his beaming mother. “We’re just glad he didn’t get a brain freeze from reciting so many digits!”
The Guinness World Records officials are expected to verify Reginald’s achievement shortly, and he is likely to be awarded a coveted spot in the record books.
In the meantime, Reginald remains characteristically humble about his remarkable talent. “I just like math, okay?” he said with a shrug. “And I guess I have a good memory. Can I go play video games now?”
**UPDATE:** Reginald has announced plans to celebrate his achievement with a massive pi-themed party, complete with circular cake, pi(e)-za, and a giant pi-digitized disco ball.
