This may be a very bad way of doing this but it's what I get to work.
The idea is to get a base 10 digit set that is "normal" in randomness
and not an equal probability random distribution.
(There is probably a better way to do this.
It you know a way let me know.)
It does give a different type of count distribution, but it is still unlike
the Pi digits based distribution.
(* Sign[] of normal based distribution of digits*)
SeedRandom[123];
Clear[rdpi,c,d]
rdpi=Table[Mod[Floor[Abs[10*InverseErf[Random[Real,{-1,1}]]]],10],{n,1,Digits}]; 

c2=Drop[FoldList[Plus,0,Sign[Drop[rdpi,1]-Drop[rdpi,-1]]],1];
(* Rowe count*)
d2=Flatten@{0,Length/@Split[Sort@c2], 0}
ListPlot[d2,PlotJoined->True];

Respectfully, Roger L. Bagula
