No, I didn't get this from the internet, I memorized it to show off on my friends :P

That's what I memorized a couple weeks ago, I'm working on 20 more digits XD
(pointless I know)

Everyone walk in circles!

I'm not sure, but I know how I will be celebrating...

Open question: does every finite sequence of digits appear at least once in the decimal representation of pi?

Considering it is a transendental number, I bet you could find anything you wanted.  Proving it may be more challenging  ;)

Don't believe everything you read on the internet

A normal number is a number whose decimal expression (in any base) is statistically uniform, i.e., no digit occurs more than another on average.

Any normal number has the property that (1) every finite sequence of digits appear at least once in its decimal representation. (from here) From my googling, pi is widely believed but not proved to be normal.

Moreover, there is an counterexample of a transcendental number which is absolutely not normal (i.e., not normal in any base). (from here) I do not know if this implies that (1) fails.

Help, scary mathematics, evacuate the thread!


Lol Unit, using big words always does make something sound more complex...
My dad does it all the time, but I can always seem to break through it :happy:


3.14 backwards is PI.E

Wait, you're locking this thread?
I don't see any IB4TL material...
