Are you absolutely sure that 65359 does not occur somewhere down the line? :)

I have a marvelous proof that it never occurs -- but unfortunatly it won't fit in this margin, errr i mean, this post.

I'm boosting, not because of what you wrote, but because of that hilarious handle:
log 😅 = 💧 log 😄

That is brilliant!

I'm going to go boost all the posts where that appears.
In other words, all your posts.
:)
(Not really. But thanks for making my day!)

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed that light bit of entertainment. 😀

"You're a gentleman and a scholar", as they apparently used to say.

I looked it up to make sure it didn't surprise me by having some negative twist: writingtips.org/a-gentleman-an

Edit: I see in your profile now "(Shamelessly stolen from

No, it is not certain, it's never been proven.

Most research mathematicians think it's likely, but that's not the same as certain, by any means.

@dougmerritt @kupac @nixCraft yes, it has not been proven, it's fun to think every numer is contained in pi somewhere .. 👍

@alexraffa @kupac @dougmerritt @nixCraft I would assume that every (finite) sequence of numbers appears in PI an infinite number of times: the proof is left as an exercise.

@gam3 @alexraffa @kupac @nixCraft
Well, your wild guess is unhelpful, since it's a famous unsolved problem in mathematics.

As I already said.

The field of study where personal opinion is superior to provable facts is modern politics, not mathematics.
