- Subject: A Piece of Pi
- Lines: 26
-
- There is a test file of approximately 1.2 million digits of Pi in the
- file pimil10.xxx in the etext93 directory. Please advise if you have
- methods of checking these files.
-
- Official release date is January, 1993.
-
- We have approximately 400,000,000 digits so far, out of the billion.
-
- There is a possibility of forming a small discussion on Pi and those
- various theories about compression of Pi and about possible patterns
- (I have currently disproven the ones I had regarding 8,000,000 chars
- I have currently under study.)
-
- Please let us know if you can provide files of root2, root3, e, etc.
-
- Happy Holidays!
