I got 42 digits. Very nice game!

I just typed 119 digits without an error. Very addictive game, don't let anyone tell you different. :)
There's one feature I really miss: to be able to start at a higher digit, although it should not count for the highscore, of course. The first 91 digits I type in a rage and then I always make some stupid mistakes. That wastes a lot of time and I'd like to have the option to skip them.

That would be good. Maybe I'll add it in the next version. Thanks!

Very nice game. I can remember 51 digits comfortably now (before, I could remember 31, the number of digits used in MS calc)

Tomorrow, I will aim to beat the 100 mark.

EDIT: Now I've got to 60 digits, and now I'm off to sleep.

Excellent game! Absurdly addictive... Id like to see Daniel Tammet play this game!

On a selfish note, can you make it so you can pick which number you are trying to enter off?

I would particularly like to see sqrt(2) and e, as well as choosing the base. Its always been a hobby of mine to calculate the roots of primes in their own base... would love to have a program that'd provide me with not only x to the y power in base z (or any constant), but a handy way to memorize it.
