- magneticnorth 2y agoWell, probably! But it hasn't actually been proven yet that pi is a "normal number" [0], though most mathematicians think it must be. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number#
- Y_Y 2y agoIf the OP is anything like me, then they have no trust in number theory researchers and deliberately choose passwords like "141592" so they can be sure
- thaumasiotes 2y agoIt's not necessary that pi be normal in order for it to contain every possible sequence. Sufficient, but not necessary.
- chmod775 2y agoThat's a stronger claim anyhow. We'd merely need Pi to be a rich number, ... which hasn't been proven either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjunctive_sequence#Rich_numbers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjunctive_sequence#Rich_numb...
- billforsternz 2y agoI enjoy thinking about this. Not only is a sequence of digits encoding the complete works of Shakespeare in there somewhere, it's in there again. And again, an infinite number of times.
- Y_Y 2y agoIn my encoding I represent the works of Shakespeare by the digit 0, anything else by the digit 1 followed by its ASCII representation.
