~167 millionth digit for me.
- ninju 3y agoHere's a deep link to the digit search form https://www.angio.net/pi/digits.html https://www.angio.net/pi/digits.html
- namtab00 3y agobeat you at ~10millionth
- bobobob420 3y agoIm -260k can anyone beat that here?
- ddejohn 3y agoIt didn't find mine using YYYYMMDD format.
- 1123581321 3y agoMine is not present! I look forward to its position being revealed later in my life.
- darkwater 3y agoWow, this site is a blast from the past in terms of UI but oh boy, it's much much much faster than the Wolfram one! Also, very interesting how it works (https://www.angio.net/pi/how.html https://www.angio.net/pi/how.html)
- dgacmu 3y agoThank you. :-) I'm definitely a systems programmer, not a UI person. Suggestions or questions welcome, of course, but I usually only spend a day per year on the pi searcher. I re-wrote it in rust last year for fun, though.
- returningfory2 3y agoOut of curiosity, do you make a lot of money from the ads? I find small niche sites like this to be somewhat less nice to use because of the ads, especially on mobile where they take up lots of limited real estate. And it seems to me that they can’t be generating that much money given the niche topic. But maybe I’m wrong!
- dgacmu 3y agoNo. I should prune them, honestly. I earn about $100 / month on them; I played around with it at some point mostly to understand the advertising ecosystem. Half of the links to Amazon are broken at this point. My hosting costs are about $20 per month now thanks to optimization to the search engine and offloading larger objects and pi fragments to cloudflare. (Used to be higher) I do want the site to be at least "self-maintaining", though.
- darkwater 3y ago(Sorry uBlock user here so I Saw no ads) Maybe you can try to setup a custom t-shirt with the desired number in the Pi sequence, like the original article has. Thanks again for the site!

- layer8 3y agoI wonder how much that information already narrows down your birth date.
- whartung 3y agoWell, that was a stupid amount of fun. Longest "Pi" sequence found: 31415926 For the digits 0-9, there are stretches 8 (i.e. 11111111) long for all the digits, but 6, 7, and 8 have 9 digit stretches (which given the property that a 9 digit random number would be in there at ~9.5%, is an anomaly!). 12345678 exists, but not 123456789. Similarly counting backward, but 876543210 exists. 012345678 does not. And, yes, my birthday is in there, both at MMDDYYYY and YYYYMMDD. Anyway, silly amount of fun.
