761 is the hypotenuse of a primitive Pythagorean triple: 7612 = 392 + 7602.


A sequence of six nines (known as the Feynman point) begins immediately after the 761st decimal place of pi. Physicist Richard Feynman expressed a wish to memorize the digits of pi as far as that point so that when reciting them he would be able to end with ". . . nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, and so on."
