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
Do you think I should try and memorize that?
Longest string of a single digit in there: 999999
Maybe someone just had a six digit calculator
EDIT: This was written before the original post was edited
Completely rewrote the first post and promoted this to the front page. Happy Pi Day, everyone!
I liked at the clock and was like, hey it's pi day, I bet there's an article on cemetech!
Been a while since I visited here.

Same here. It's about half way down.
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

It seems I did miss the part where you re-wrote from your point of view instead of noahbaby's

On-topic just a bit more, did anyone actually do anything to celebrate pi day?
I ate moar pi. actually, it was just one of the small cherry kind in a box, but it was all I had.

I wore my Pi Day shirt. My sister made it for me a few years back.
Happy Pi Day 2010, everyone! I wish you many happy round apple pastries and returns of the day.
I think I'm at 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582 right now.
