Other Curiosities in the Digits of Pi
( Or: What's so Nifty about Rows of Fifty? )

   When I created my first Pi-display some years ago with highlighted pairs of doubled-digits, I used 75 digits per line.  None of the highlighted pairs had to be split across lines, and I still like the way it appears.  If you look at the patterns of doubled-digits in that old display, there are a few that form what I like to think of as an upside-down perpendicular and two right angles:

( These occur at the 360th through 365th decimal digits plus the 437th and 438th digits for the perpendicular shape.  Once you locate the string of six nines in a row, it's easy to find the two right angle shapes on either side of them. )

   Are there any kind of shapes you can find in the display on this page (which uses 50 digits per line instead)?  Well, the 307th to the 310th and the 315th to the 318th decimal digits of Pi along with the 360th through the 365th digits form a sort of U-shaped pattern like this:


   If you look at the 459th and 460th decimal digits of Pi (which are 99 ), the 507th and 508th and 510th and 511th pairs (which are 33 and 44 ) and finally the 559th and 560th pair (which is 77 ), most likely you'll have already noticed that they form a diamond-shaped pattern like this:

( Note: In the last 100 digits of Pi, I saw what may have been the beginning of another diamond, but the next line of 50 digits does not have a pair in the correct location to finish the pattern! )

   If you'd like to search for other geometric patterns using the doubled-digits of Pi, here are some more HTML page displays to get you started:
