There's a 9 repeating 6 times in there which I'd think is a pretty rare occurrence in pi. I wonder what the longest occurrence of a repeating digit is.

On a long enough string I'm guessing... Infinite? Pi isn't a pattern so does it follow the same "if monkeys hade an infinite amount of time to type at a typewriter they'd type Shakespeare"

Well I thought that at first, but it has to be less than infinite since other numbers have to repeat in there as well with at least some occurrence so it's infinite minus something, but since pi goes on infinitely, it's obviously some high number...
