It seems hard to believe that Cemetech's first Happy Pi Day article was six years ago in 2003, but here we are today, four revisions of the site later, once again celebrating this very notable of tech enthusiast holidays. So have round apple pastries, and celebrate the most famous of the irrational numbers with us here once again. Oh, and as noted on ticalc.org, the US House of Representatives has officially made March 14th Pi Day.
Here's first 4 million digits of pi http://www.zenwerx.com/pi.php

Longest string of a single digit in there: 999999
Maybe someone just had a six digit calculator Razz

EDIT: This was written before the original post was edited

Would anyone be interested in the output of a program I intend to write just for this that would give us the longest single character repetition in the document?

EDIT: I wrote the program, and it claims there was an instance of 7 digits in a row that were all 3's (that is the first in the document to have that length).

I wrote that post before the edit, when there was only the first million digits. Half way down the first four million digits would have been outside of my search range.

Code:
import re
pi = "".join(re.split('\s+', re.findall('<pre>([0-9]\.\s)</pre>', pagesource)[0]))
pichains = re.findall('([0-9]{2,})', pi)
longest = ""
for chain in pichains:
  if len(chain) > len(longest):
    longest = chain
print chain

You must have missed the part where I rewrote his post and promoted it to the front page so there wouldn't be duplicate Happy Pi Day threads floating around everywhere.

Indeed, hence your confusion. Glad that we were able to get that straightened out. Smile

On-topic just a bit more, did anyone actually do anything to celebrate pi day?
