My social security number is within the first million places of pi. What is

If pi is completely random we don't need no stinkin' monkies. The books will

Since pi is not random, you appear to have shared interesting
information about your SSN. �If you areinterested in SSNs.

The decimal expansion of pi is not random, but pi is normal, which
means that every possible finite sequence of digits appears somewhere
in the expansion with probability 1.

Again, "probability"?

All right - generate your sequence of digits randomly, a moment after
now, and we can talk meanwhile about the "probability" that your
sequence occurs in the decimal expression of pi.

Having said that, /is/ pi normal? Everything we know about it implies
that, but is there a proof?

Hey, can a number be normal in one base but not in another? Huh - a
binary number with every second place 0 and the rest according to
taste might throw up any decimal combination you desire, but never a
binary 11.

And isn't there a formula to compute and!y hexadecimal digit of pi
independently, or something like that...
