The digits of Pi are infinite and non-repeating, would that mean the digits can contain sequences that correspond to the binary representation of the entire Wikipedia?
Yes and no. Pi is assumed to be normal, which means that any non-infinite sequence happens in pi. However, the digits of 0.1011011101111011111... are infinite and non-repeating, and yet you'll never see a 00 or a 2.

Can maths nerds answer this?

Yes, but it's not guaranteed that it will.

Are you sure? I thought we did not know if it was guaranteed or not.

It's guaranteed that we can't know the actual answer

Yes, also the answer to life, the universe, and everything, because of this old religous people hide it in using instead 3 16/113

Why is there a PI day, but no Kaprekar's Constant day?
