Happy Pi Day!
Happy Pi Day, everybody. Usually around this time, I get a good deal of traffic from new visitors (mostly folks who swing by to see the pi10k experiment I made, a few years back).
It’s kind of funny. I created that thing trying to learn a bit more about strings and arrays, almost as an exercise. Fast forward a few years, and the link seems to have made its way around a good deal. Kind of neat that it continues to garner interest/visits.
Hiya,I was impressed by your use of musical notes to illustrate Pi. To me, a series of digits of Pi are effectively a random number (albeit governed by some ‘natural’ overall property of the number PI). And to some extent PI could be a data store.By approximating an Octave into 10 different notes/digits, I just wondered if you had ever investigated whether some simple tunes (scales,nursary rhymes etc) are effectively ‘written’ into PI within a reasonable number of digits of PI? eg it might even be the case that a simplified Motzart symphony for instance actually be written in PI (eg say from the 123456th digit!!)?Regards,Frederick
