Digits of Pi are not random, instead they are uniformly distributed or "pseudo-random".
Not all sequences are uniformly distributed, thus it very unlikely that we will be able to find long pieces of non-uniformly distributed sequences in uniformly distributed sequence.
- saagarjha 8y agoI’m sorry, but I don’t think you quite understand what randomness, or pseudorandomness, means. In a truly random sequence, the probability of any given finite sequence appearing in it is 1.
- v_lisivka 8y agoAFAIK, nobody proved that Pi digits sequence is normal. See https://www.quora.com/How-random-are-the-digits-in-pi https://www.quora.com/How-random-are-the-digits-in-pi . So it quite possible for some finite sequences to be omitted from the Pi digits sequence.
