That reminds me of the ending of the novel/movie "Contact" by Carl Sagan. When calculating pi in base 11, there was an implausibly long run of 0's and 1's, which made a pretty picture when you plotted it in two dime

Our orgo textbook must have been 4 inches thick. I can still remember in the first lecture, when the professor said, "your homework is to do all the problems in the book." All of them. Luckily I had an easy semester otherwise, s
