    I once wrote a program to write programs that would try to find programs that would solve simple problems. Didn't find an algorithm for PI, but things such as greatest common divisors popped out pretty quickly.

    Yeah, the reality is boring. It's not know whether the digits are randomly distributed though. It would be funny if they weren't. Not anywhere near as funny as just ending suddenly, admittedly.

    Interesting trivia:

    The number 2π (sometimes referred to by the greek letter τ (tau)) has a corresponding sequence of seven consecutive 9s beginning at position 761.
