Use base pi and the shortest string of digits representing all of the digits of pi can be written as '1'. This project seems pointless to me. There's no scientific value in knowing this many digits of pi. He used off the shelf components and off the shelf software. So there was no new engineering that advance the state of the art. At the end of the day the only thing of meaning that happened her is he used a bunch of electricity (and a corresponding CO2 release) for no socially valuable purpose.
