Using my my infinite precision PI calculator and your piece of code I produced this :
Notice how PI is the number of the geeks and kids...
(Tell me if you SEE other things or if you find something in the followings digits...)

If you want to produce strings from numbers, I suggest my
Math::Fleximal. Converting your number above to
base 26 I get:

Of course you will not hit many words there. But if you
pass the input in as data for various "random text"
algorithms you might even get out something interesting. | [reply] [d/l] |

Using your excellent Math::Fleximal and a conversion of
the 5000 first digits '0'..'9'->'a'..'z'
I got several words (by matching them with my /usr/dict/words file)
If I keep only the words with more than 3 char, I got :
'buys'
'coin'
'dull'
'fats'
'feet'
'pots'
'test'
'tint'
'warn'
'warp'
'went'
And last but not the least 'monk' !

Let's see, in this set I see 'kde', 'midi', 'die', 'leg', 'fed', 'feed', 'egg', 'heh', and 'deem'. Make of it what you will :)
Update: Upon another look, I also see 'keg', 'lid', 'fee', 'gig', 'gif', 'dig', 'film', 'hill', 'hid', 'DJ', 'led', 'hem', and 'gem'.

Mystic numbers (Re: the secret of PI)
by larsen (Parson) on May 04, 2001 at 16:39 UTC

If someone could be able to give a proof that \pi's digits follow a
casual distribution, you could find in it every possible finite sequence of digits.
Thus, you could find on \pi the source for Perl 6, all nodes of PerlMonks (even those
that are not written yet) and so on...
Furthermore, such a true casual number exists: we are able to define it and we know some
of its properties, but it is demonstrated that we can't compute it. This number is
called \Omega, and it's defined as the probability that an Universal Turing Machine
halts given random input.
\Omega has other interesting properties. If we could know \Omega we would be able to solve
the halting problem for every Turing Machine, finding a solution to, for example,
the Goldbach's conjecture and Collatz's game.
If you want to read more about this mystic number and related topics, visit the
home page of this wise man. | [reply] |

I like the Infinity engine (found here). It uses the notion that:
- after one second, do X
- after half a second, do X
- after a quarter of a second, do X
- after an eight of a second, do X
- ...
That way, after 2 seconds, we have executed "X" an infinite number of times.

This sounds like a variant on my patented Time Extensible Processor. The TEP projects your task far enough into the future so that it is done now. It has an interesting side effect, however. If the tasks ever stop running, it indicates the end of the universe. But because of how time and space work, you can simply pick up the machine and move it a few inches to the left or right to resume processing. At least, until that time/space thread ends.

The usual name for this is a "normal number". It is unknown whether Pi is normal, but it is strongly suspected to be.
| [reply] |
|
Not as if it's much consolation, but a statistical analysis shows that both pi and e1 have each digit (0..9) appear one tenth of the time. It's not a rigorous mathematical proof of normality, but it shows that such a proof shouldn't be able to be disproved, which is important in itself...

Pi is (normal)
Can you provide a proof for that?
