Look up the next five digits of pi at position 250301

Thanks for nothing OP.

let me guess, 69420?

[Anonymous No.11309335]

>>11309310
42069, apparently. 69420 occurs much earlier, at position 15773.

Haha nice, and people think God didn't have a sense of humor when He created math

LOL! I cant wait to share this on reddit :)

Edit: Thanks for the gold, kind sir!

>what is the infinite monkey theorem

[Anonymous No.11309683]

>>11309636
It doesnt apply. There is no reason to think that all possible combinations of numbers exist in pi.

[Hoaxfag No.11309760]

>>11309683
Why do you think that?
I know it's a constant debate, but if you can find your phone number in pi, and convert your name into binary and find it in pi, where does the limit of the full ASCII binary combination exist?
Like can we find a whole DVD in pi?
Probably not.
But a small MP3?
Or a normal sized .txt file maybe, how do you work the probability of that out?

I DONT GET IT SOMEONE EXPLAIN

>>11309760
yeah rite? i love in st. louis and my phone number is [phone] and nobody ever gives me random schizo phone calls because coincidences are just coincidences

[Anonymous No.11309785]

>>11309253
If I had to guess, it's likely 80085.

>>11309683
Sure there is, like the fact there is.

>>11309760
There's a 100% chance of finding them all in pi. I assume the same is true for any transcendental number.

[Anonymous No.11309802]

>>11309785
we don't know if pi is normal

[Anonymous No.11310677]

>>11309683
Hm, interesting. I never thought of normality as being a necessary condition. I'm not sure I understand correctly.

In an infinite series of random numbers under any distribution, aren't we going to find every number infinitely many times, regardless of the probability to find it?

[Anonymous No.11312570]

>>11309683
Actually there's no proof that pi is a normal number.

[math]\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}10^{-2^n}=00.11010001...[/math] is transcendental (take my word on this, the proof is too long for me to be bothered to write it out) but it's pretty obvious that not every string of digits is present.

Next time, please try not talking about things you know nothing about.

This imply that :

Yes. So?
