Maithe (11) can recite the number pi up to 400 digits after the decimal point, and doesn't have to do homework in exchange for a month: “Practice five minutes every day”

Everyone who has ever been to school knows that the number pi equals 3.14. But the knowledge of Maithe Thys from Sint-Niklaas goes far beyond that. The eleven-year-old student at De Droomballon primary school listed no less than 400 numbers after the decimal point of pi, in exchange for a month without homework.
