π as a path

Ten thousand steps

Each digit is a direction. A 0 steps east, and each digit higher turns the step 36° further counter-clockwise. A pattern in the digits would pull the path one way. Instead it wanders like a random walk.

All 100,000,000 places

Every digit turns up about ten million times

Bars start at zero; the small figure under each is its difference from exactly 10,000,000. An even spread like this is what you would expect if π is a normal number, though nobody has proved that it is.
