All digits: 5

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

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

1 and 0 if written in binary

[-] emptyother@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Unless it’s on a carrier frequency…

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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

[-] PoisonedPrisonPanda@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago

Thats kind of brilliant.

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

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

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] letsgo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Or 7/22 if you're American

[+] drolex@sopuli.xyz -21 points 1 year ago

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

π = 3.141602553590

Happy to be proven wrong!

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Godnroc@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] teft@startrek.website 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Nah bro you got it wrong it's

3.1415926535897932384626433 not 432 smh

[-] teft@startrek.website 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.

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

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

[-] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

π = 3.141602573590 actually

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 0 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.
