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?
