A theoretical question:

Why do you all bother with the decimal representation of Pi?

Wouldn't it be better - and perhaps computationally easier - to study
the binary representation of Pi?

The binary representation of a number is , in my opinion, more
fundamental then the decimal one.
Perhaps some statistical conclusions are even  "representation
independent", so you just need to study the binary one.

Any comments?
