I've always wondered if you take the digits from Pi, do they represent a pseudo random sequence or not?

- larksimian 10y agoIt's speculated that Pi is a normal number[1]. If it is in fact normal, then I believe the answer is yes. However determining whether a number is normal or not is an unresolved problem according to Wolfram, so the answer is a solid maybe.

- dmurray 10y agoPi is conjectured, but not proven to be a "normal number"[0] which is probably what you mean by a pseudorandom sequence. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number
