Girl steals the show on Q&A by reciting Pi

With world leading scientists, physicist and astrophysicists on the panel, last night’s episode of Q&A pondered some heavy questions about the universe.

But amidst the impressive brain power on display a 10-year-old girl managed to steal the show.

After first asking a question about baby sea turtles, Jacinta Rees was asked a question of her own by host Tony Jones.

"I heard you do something remarkable which is to recite Pi - I know you can recite it to a lot of decimals. How many?"

"I can do it to 88 now," Jacinta modestly replied.

"88 decimals. Can you give us a dozen?" Jones asked.

Jacinta happily obliged, with far more than a dozen, much to the delight of the audience.
