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.
