Comment on Can all books be found somewhere within the number Pi?parent

Comments

A book from start to finish could be considered to be 'highly organised'. However, if the book you find is only an infinitely small subset of pi, then it should have no bearing on whether you call pi itself 'highly organised'.

Infinity is very large, and even with something as simple as flipping a coin, you could probably find arbitrary patterns in it if you looked hard enough. 1000 heads in a row? Alternating between heads and tails for 100 flips?
