Pi counted to 5 trillionth digit, 90 days with custom-made rig

[Hyperlisk_]

Psh, pi is wrong anyway: http://tauday.com/ Lots of reading, but it's a pretty solid argument.

so still no pattern i guess? maybe its a pattern that there is no pattern...

Heh, at least when I can't beat the final boss, I'll always remember this cheat code which even the PS3 can't handle!! Will there be a console system that is very powerful enough to store the 4-5 TB of data?

I didn't know that Pi was infinite... Huh.

NUMBERS are infinite, you didn't know?

Rational numbers end or are a repeating pattern. Irrational numbers don't repeat a pattern and never end.

Pi is an irrational number.

it probably could, maybe a node of 10 ps3's

I only know 15 digits, but I am still the envy of my friends

Like most people here I thought that "The Pi" here counted. I was like

lol

...I'm sure that's what they all want to be able to do. Way more important than getting laid.

 

[zuron7]

Now they'll make us learn the pi up to the 5 trillionth digit.

Remember that girl in your high school math class who would always get extra credit by memorizing more digits of Pi?[/p]
That character would've been me at my school.

The five trillion digits took up 6TB of data. Which I feel is a bit "wow".
each character takes 1 byte (assuming ASCII standard not unicode) which contains 8 bits each
so your left with 5 trillion bytes which converted to gigabytes becomes about 4657GB which then becomes about 4.55TB

Well, Gizmodo said about 6TB...

They're most likely not TiB. They tend to round down to 1,000 instead of 1,024 like they should, so in storage terms, they aren't true terabytes.

They'd envy me more.

its strange as to why ppl make a fuss about counting the pi decimal digits... i could count the decimal digits of 1/3 upto infinity

 

[CannonFoddr]

^ I agree it's a lot easier to say 'Pi = 22/7 '

OBJECTION!

I want that computer rig.

I wonder how many fps it could manage in Crysis...

Close to zero FPS. It doesn't have a GPU.
