Pi -Search :D

"The string 931 was found at position 440 counting from the first digit after the decimal point."

That seems like a long way in. Anyone else have a team number that is first encountered further from the initial decimal point than position 440?

The string 1065 was found at position 1,011 counting from the first digit after the decimal point.

I just had the great idea to write a script that would check each number until it found the Golden Number, that is, the number n that is the nth digit of pi. Then I realized that it would be 1, and that I am stupid.

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

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

[ArmoredFairy698]

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!!!

The string 1543 was found at position 9,430 counting from the first digit after the decimal point. The 3. is not counted.

Team 180:

The string 180 was found at position 3,664 counting from the first digit after the decimal point. The 3. is not counted.

1293 was at position 1299.

I wonder if any team besides team 1 is the same number in as their team number.
Your team is really close to it.

The string 175 was found at position 1,152 counting from the first digit after the decimal point.

I also searched for Buzz's previous team number (I think), 51:
The string 51 was found at position 48 counting from the first digit after the decimal point.
