Enter a 10 digit phone number into a search string. With a large enough PI data set, you will locate that sequence. Thanks to "Person of Interest" TV series for that tidbit of info. I have tried every person I know, I found there phone numbers in the data set.
Another tidbit. Prime95 program has a torture benchmark, using PI calculation. Multi-threaded.
PS. Don't run long on an under-cooled PC CPU.
Well that's a great idea for some fun! How many digits does it take to get to your phone number?
I wonder if mine is in the first 1000 of p$
Nope! nor the 4 digit, nor the 3 digit! The 3 digit had a very good change I think. Now I am wondering about digit counts in Pi.
I am not sure if prime95 has a number dump function, could have been another. My PH# was found somewhere around 34k in. A recent publication of 1 Billion digit of PI was released last year. Some YouTuber (math nut). Purchased a physical copy. The pile was taller that he was. To get to 1 billion or was it 100 Billion took a PC running over 1 year to complete. It became a record. NIST, (yea those guys) consider the use of PI to be a NIST standard, needing publication.
Now that I think about it, prime95 is for factoring prime numbers. Whoop's. There are a number of torture benchmarks using PI calculation. Really gets the electrons flowing. And can cook your CPU. Prime95 is for over-clockers to test the stability of the system.
But I do stand by my tidbit about your phone number in PI.
