mmmmmm, Pi




Add maths MANIA !!!!!
started Add maths folio and im nearly done !!!!!!!!!!
2morrow must go and confirm whether everything is ok so i can bind it and pimp it up, but so far all the crap is done


and lol i learned a lot about pi!
it has its own day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 14 which coincedentally is the birtday of Alber Einstein !
i learned the history and another fact is this number is so irrational that you can find your birthday, first i checked out 14/10/1992 the date/month/year

14 The string 14101992 occurs at position 162,139,307 counting from the first digit after the decimal point. The 3. is not counted.
The string and surrounding digits:

21726319330000650346 14101992 82106866935996460778


but lol, unfortunately it did not get lucky at the month/date/year format
as this turned out

Searchstart: 10 The string 10141992 did not occur in the first 200000000 digits of pi after position 0.
(Sorry! Don't give up, Pi contains lots of other cool strings.)



Chances of FindingWhy can/can't I find my number in Pi? If we view Pi as a big, random string of numbers (which is close enough for our purposes), then we can figure out the odds of finding any string in the first 100 million digits of Pi:

Number Length Chance of Finding
1-5 100%
6 Nearly 100%
7 99.995%
8 63%
9 9.5%
10 0.995%%
11 0.09995%

Happily, if you include the zeros, birthdays are 8 digits long -- so you have a 63% chance of finding your birthday in the first 100 million digits of pi. Now that we're to 200 million, the odds are up to 86%,

ganas, if you count the date/month/year format im one of the 14%!
