Can maths nerds answer this?

The digits of Pi are infinite and non-repeating, would that mean the digits can contain sequences that correspond to the binary representation of the entire Wikipedia?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Yes and no. Pi is assumed to be normal, which means that any non-infinite sequence happens in pi. However, the digits of 0.1011011101111011111... are infinite and non-repeating, and yet you'll never see a 00 or a 2.

Yes, but it's not guaranteed that it will.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Are you sure? I thought we did not know if it was guaranteed or not.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

It's guaranteed that we can't know the actual answer

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Yes, also the answer to life, the universe, and everything, because of this old religous people hide it in using instead 3 16/113

Why is there a PI day, but no Kaprekar's Constant day?
