Self-locating Strings in Pi
(Thanks to Jeff Roulston for the impetus behind this bit of Pi trivia).

Pi contains a few self-locating strings, but not many. Defining self-locating depends how you count the "position". If you treat the first digit after the decimal point as digit "1" (which the pi searcher does), then you get the following numbers which can self-locate themselves in the first 50M digits of pi:

1, 16470, 44899

If, on the other hand, you act like a computer geek and use zero based indexing, then you get these numbers:

6, 27, 13598, 43611, 24643510

So unless you start with 0, (or count team 1) no self-locating strings that'll match team numbers yet.

The string 279 was found at position 28 counting from the first digit after the decimal point. The 3. is not counted.
All this talk about Pi is making me hungry :D

Had to go a long way to find the Cyber Colonels!

The string 1740 was found at position 22,473 counting from the first digit after the decimal point. The 3. is not counted

Team 698's results:

"The string 698 was found at position 1,553 counting from the first digit after the decimal point. The 3. is not counted."

Interesting...

HAPPY PI DAY!!!

1464 is close to 20000 places from the decimal point
