PPS: Which of these is pi digits, which sky noise, which phone numbers (admittedly the local phone directory is a bit on the scanty side), and why does the pattern stand out so clearly at D and at E:
A: 821051141354735739523
B: 733615329964125325790
C: 698312217625358227195
D: 123409876135791113151
E: 113581321345589146235
(Ans: C — sky, A – pi, B – phone, last 2 digits each of line codes.)

Which of these is pi digits…
Correct answer: A thru E are pi digits

Of course Cantor would know that.
(actually does anyone know a proof of Cantor's statement? It seems reasonable, but number theory isn't my area) |
I am not a number theorist either, but AFAIK, the general problem remains unsolved. See here: http://tinyurl.com/9oa3kjw....9oa3kjw
Only the first string of digits that KF posted occurs in the first 200 million digits of pi according to http://www.angio.net/pi....p....i....pi
