I know in the grand scheme of digits of pi it's not that interesting. But that 999999 near the middle is very satisfying, especially since it stands out with this coloring.

I can imagine a guy manually calculating pi in the past coming across that and thinking he's found Pi's repeating end.

"9. 9. 9? Another 9? And another 9?!!! That's it! Pi must just repeat all 9's after this. Yup. There's another 9. That's six 9's in a row. It's a repeating decimal after this for sure so the next digit will be an.. 8? An EIGHT?!!!"

Yes, I noticed that too.

Damn my first count was off, but this is on point... Beautiful indeed

Digits are colored in shades of green based on their values with darker colors corresponding to higher values.

Good to know they have pie in the matrix.

Now I am left wondering what is the average digit value of Pi? I assume every number appears an equal number of times so I am guessing close to 4.5.

Yes, it is not proven but it seems like all digits are uniformly distributed

Now they’ve got another year to figure out the next one.

apart from the 999999 row... i see a lot of diagonal lines of 9s too or its just my brain?

Now that you said it, I see them too. Could be because of the darker numbers stand out more.

All the smart math people cone in and chime there facts on Pi and im over here like that looks like the matrix.

So you say. I’m too tired to check.

Has anyone here ever really needed more precision than 3.14159? For real?

Why do some of the digits look like a dark red when I'm not looking directly at them, it's freaking me out!
