In my pre-teens, I was interested in programming and 3D graphics and so had one number memorized:

57.29577951...

That's 180 / π, the number of degrees in a radian. I was used to dealing in degrees (I didn't yet appreciate the benefits of radians) but my trigonometric functions in BASIC took angles in radians.
