Only an infinite sequence of normal digits can be assured (probability: 1.0) of matching a test digit sequence within it, even a trivial one. For all other normal digit sequences, there's a probability less than 1.0 for finding an example sequence within it.

Good example. One would think that a relatively short test sequence would be a shoo-in for being located somewhere within 100 million normal digits, but that's by no means assured.
Edit: the sequence '133343' appears 80 times in the first 100 million digits of Pi.
