During lockdown I had a bit of time on my hands so I memorised all the digits of pi in the right order.
I memorized them in numerical order. First there's a bunch of 0s then a bunch of 1s, followed by 2s, and so on.
I took the opposite approach. All the digits of pi, in the right order, are 3.145926870.
Obviously I had to eliminate any duplicates otherwise this post would have been a lot longer.
Yeah but how many 0s do you have before you get to the first 1? I've been working on it but still don't have a definite answer.
At least 4 or 5
I don't know the exact number but it's quite a few of them
Infinite.
Is that actually true or is that an unsolved problem?
It's believed to be true to a high degree.
Pi is infinite. It's also believed with a high degree of certainty (but not proven) to be a normal number, which basically means all the digits are evenly distributed over the infinite series. So if that is true, there would be an infinite number of 0s. Theoretically it could suddenly turn out to not be normal after a certain amount of digits are found, and then 0 could just stop entirely after a certain point, but this is incredibly unlikely.
You should do alphabetical next.
All... ALL of them?
So.... 1?
Hey, me too! I also did e and the Feigenbaum constant, though.
Yeah, me too. But first I had to count to infinite to make sure the decimal parts of these would fit.
descending primes, right?
Decimal expansion. 3.14 etc
am I missing a bad joke here?
