| Apr 24, 2011 at 23:39 | comment | added | Robert Israel | "If 6-sequences of k length actually always occur first, then Pi would not be normal". Obviously not true for k=1. But how would that contradict normality? For example, in Champernowne's number the first length-k sequence of 1's comes before the first length-k sequence of any other digit, but Champernowne's number is still normal (in base 10). | |

| Apr 24, 2011 at 22:53 | comment | added | André Henriques | @Halfdan: I completely agree with you. But there's only a finite amount of information that one can explore by computer. And, after that, one is still infinitely far away from infinity... | |

| Apr 24, 2011 at 22:38 | comment | added | Halfdan Faber | Well, if the position of first occurence for a k-length sentence grows at the same rate for all base digits, something can be learned from that. If 6-sequences of k length actually always occur first, then Pi would not be normal (I realize this is more than exceedingly unlikely to be the case, but would like to see some references). | |

| Apr 24, 2011 at 22:32 | comment | added | André Henriques | This is not an interesting question. An interesting question is one that has the property that other people will learn something from the answer. What have I learned from the fact that the sequence "00000000" occurs somewhere between the $10^8$-th and $10^9$-th digit of $\pi$?... | |
