All digits: 5

sauce

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago

Pi has 10 unique digits which are, in order of first appearance, 3, 1, 4, 5, 9, 2, 6, 8, 7, 0 =)

1 and 0 if written in binary

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It shouldnt really just be high and low voltage.

..

Unless its fiber optics, then I assume its light strength? Hmm.. Waves that are modulated... And now I fell down a wikipedia hole.

Unless it’s on a carrier frequency…

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

To be fair, only a mathematician would make such a shit joke.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Thats kind of brilliant.

11.0010010001

No 3 in it but I'm happy to be proven wrong

  • 11.001001000011111101101010100010001000010110100011... (binary)

All values here are from Wikipedia.


You got 11 digits correct (as long as I can count and Wikipedia is right), Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

spoiler
You missed one zero before the one at the end

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

About the spoiler: I didn't, I just rounded up. It's a bunch of 1's afterwards so the 1 is closer than a zero.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Ok, nice then Congratulations all digits correct 🎉🎉🎉 :)

Engineers hate you.

Or 7/22 if you're American

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Hmmm, I don't think there is a 7 in π.

π = 3.141602553590

Happy to be proven wrong!

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not pi? You have some odd rounding.

π ≈ 3.1415926535897

So you get 7 pretty quickly. To get a 0 you need,

π ≈ 3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 50

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's not π, you've got spaces in there. Space is not a digit???!?

And what with the funny waves at the start? Looks like the Thai flag?

"≈" lmao

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro are you trolling? I can't tell

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought this was a shitposting community 😢

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not. It's a meme page. No jokes allowed

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, everywhere in the world the shitposters minority is radicalised by the memeing community with this sort of abuse. More and more are turning to deep frying memes. I thought it was too extreme at first but I start to understand them 🤣💯👌

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Akchwelly, spaces are digits and that's what bothers me about the meme: there do be spaces in π.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The first time a 7 appears in Pi is 13 digits after the decimal point.

Dude, you trust some numbers you found on the internet?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Uh no.... I trust this power series expansion formula I found..... .....on the internet

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Where did you get that value of pi. Pi is 3.14159265358979323846264~~323338950~~338327950. That’s 32 digits (to the first zero) and there’s definitely every number in it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm doing some internal rounding, it's cutting edge mathematics. Maybe you're not ready for this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah bro you got it wrong it's

3.1415926535897932384626433 not 432 smh

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You’re correct. To be fair I posted without coffee from memory so I was bound to get a few wrong. My point still stands. All numbers are in pi in the first 32 digits.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You look trustworthy, I'll use this value for my computations for our next Starship rocket

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sure, I'll memorize instead of the 3.14159265 I know from other sources

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As far as we know Pi goes on forever and never repeats. If you assign letters to the numbers you can theoretically find your name in Pi at some place. At another place your address. And at another point the whole bible but with your name instead of God.

Kind of like the infinite monkey theorem.

This page lets you search the first 200 million digits of Pi for any number. Try to see if your birthday is in there.
