Could everyone reading this thread please stop the off topic cross posting to aus.tv. Yes, I know some morons keep adding it but you should take a look at the crossposted NGs before hitting send.

You have to stop thinking of infinity as a really long string for a moment, because there's no infinite string of pi inside root 2 or e etc. but the further you go along the string the longer and longer sequences are found. Good counter argument you have there! Although I would think it fits in my category of increasing finite strings Vs increasing samples of prefixes. Herc |
