Exploring a Million Digits of Pi

The video documents a unique project where the first million digits of Pi are printed on a mile-long paper and unraveled on a runway. The hosts explore various interesting patterns and anomalies within Pi's digits, such as the Feynman Point and missing sequences. They discuss memorization records and the frequency of digits. The project is completed with a reflection on the process and a brief explanation of the printing technology used.

• A sequence of six 9s

• A sequence of seven 3s

• A sequence of five 0s

• A sequence of eight 1s

How many digits did someone memorize to set a world record?

• The first 1,000 digits

• The entire million digits

• Exactly 100,000 digits

• Over 125 yards of Pi

What is unique about the sequence 0456789 in Pi?

• It is the first run of seven ascending digits
