| May 21, 2010 at 20:46 | comment | added | Charles | Perhaps I was unclear. Mahler's result says that you can't have a string of 1000 zeros in the decimal expansion of pi appear just after the 24th digit, or before then -- that is, no such string in the first 1024 digits. (That this is 2^10 is coincidence; it's just 1000 (1 + 1/(42 - 1)) rounded down.) | |
