      That statement may be false, a simple explanation is that if you make a number out of π by removing all 9s it will keep the properties of π being infinite and non-repeating but never contain 9.

          PI is not proven to be normal number. It means that those infinite digits repeating may not have uniform distribution, so somewhere far away in PI you can start just getting 1s,2s and 3s for example.

          The point is that just because π is infinite it isn’t guaranteed to have any combination of numbers in it

      Okay, cool! I had some fun looking for words in the pages. But if I understand it correctly, what we’ll end up with individual words surrounded with gibberish on the pages. You’re never going to get a page full of real words, right?

        Every possible page is generated somewhere. I think there’s a checkbox on the search page that fills the rest of the query with spaces.

        I haven’t looked at it yet but if u understand correctly you just have to search for a page where surrounding gibberish is also words. Probability plummets to zero fast, I’d guess

      This is equivalent to the assertion that pi is a normal number, which is not proven.
