1. There is no proof that pi is a normal number. 2. The index of the position takes up space.

- aaren 13y ago1. Well, here's to hoping. 2. He addressed this - you store the index in pi as well. If the index of the index is too big, you can store that too... indices all the way down!
- tzs 13y agoYou then have to store how many levels down the real, as opposed to index, data is. If you have looped enough to have reached an index that is small, the depth count will on average be so large that it takes about as much space as your original data.
