Pi must repeat

Name: Anonymous 2008-02-05 12:57

If Pi has infinite numbers following the decimal, at same point those numbers must fit into a sequence that has already been done, for whatever length of numbers.  Mathemetecians need only figure out how many numbers are repeated and for how long and in what places of the sequence.

Pi is irrational.

Duh.  Finding the longest repetition sequence is like finding the largest possible tangram.

Fail. Your first sentence is incorrect.

Conjecture,

There's a sequence S = n_1,n_2,...,n_x of the ordered digits of Pi such that

Pi = the sequence S followed immediately by S, y amount of times for all integers y => 1

i.e at some stage the digits of Pi repeat themselves 2,3 times etc but not an infinite times to make it rational.

Not a troll btw

More important is:

Why would we ever need to know if pi repeats or not? Is there any real-world application of needing more than 500 decimal places for any number?

>>11 is false. The guy in the cartoon ASSUMES Pi is a normal number, meaning its decimal expansion is all "random" digits. Nobody has proven Pi is normal.

And yeah it becomes kind of obvious >>9 is a corollary of Pi being normal.

If you use successively higher bases ad infinitum, you will get less and less frequent occurrences of repeated digits.  Using base pi, in fact, you get one digit: pi.  There you go.

In fact pi in base pi is 1.

Well then, show me a number with random decimals that will result in some amount of significant data when converted to machine code.

Speaking out in a peaceful protest that will be full of high school faggots is stupid, yes.

Half of you wearing masks and the other half not is stupid, yes. It's fucking stupid.

Coagulating the sidewalk outside of the Co$ is going to what exactly?

Every single person that isn't a fucking retard knows they are scammers.
The actual Scifags themselves don't give a FUCK what you think.

What exactly are you doing handing out fliers?

Mail them some fucking anthrax, hang yourself in front of the church, SET THE NEW HIGH SCORE.
Don't hand out FUCKING FLIERS.

This is the only chance /b/ will EVER have of curing the cancer. I don't give a fuck if it's done through pissbombing some underage b& or making fun of and dismantling a church full of retards.

All I know is that the fate of /b/ WILL be decided on the 10th for better or worse.

COPYPASTA THIS FOR GREAT JUSTICE.

Somewhere in π there must be a string of decimals equal to 0.999..., which is of course equal to 1.

I don't think you understand the concept of infinite strings of numbers.

That literally implies pi is rational, idiots.

>>27 >>28
I trolled you both hard, and put you away salty wet.  Morons.

At it turns out, there's a 0.999... in ANY number greater than or equal to 1.  After all, all such numbers can be expressed as 0.999...+X.

I was speaking about ABSOLUTE VALUE, fucktard.  Shit, do I have to stoop to drawing you a fucking PICTURE, or something?  Is there crayon in your "math book", asstard?

orly, so only n s.t. |n| >= 1?

guess 0.1 != 0.0999... then, huh?

fucking idiot.

How do we know pi isn't some fraction of a square root, like 20sqrt(2)/9 ?

Now we know that the Down's may indeed be able to recite digits of pi without end.  In fact the secret to pi is in the Down's.
