I usually try to do something fun for the pi searcher for Pi day. (http://www.angio.net/pi http://www.angio.net/pi ). But this year, I felt lazy, so I abused the RESTful interface I created last year to find the first occurrence of "piday" in Pi, using a very simple alphanumeric mapping (00 == a, 01 == 1, 25 == z, 26 == a, etc.). The answer is to search for: 1560810050 and check the alpha display below the results. :) But the method is the part I shouldn't encourage others to use... but, hey, it's Pi day, what's a few more AWS instances up and running? I was too lazy to do this the right way, so I pounded on my own web interface with a quick little python script. Please don't judge me for poor python written quickly the morning of pi day. ;-) import urllib2 import json import time for p in xrange(15, 100, 26): for i in xrange(8, 100, 26): for d in xrange(3, 100, 26): for a in xrange(0, 100, 26): for y in xrange(24, 100, 26): time.sleep(0.2) pistr = '{:=02}{:=02}{:=02}{:=02}{:=02}'.format(p, i, d, a, y) r = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.angio.net/newpi/piquery?q=" + pistr).read() dat = json.loads(r) idat = dat['results'][0] if idat['status'] != 'notfound': print dat sys.exit(0)
