    it's a bit like the Bible code isn't it And just as coincidental : http://www.valleyskeptic.com/biblec~1.htm ----------------------------- "My name is Sven und I am from Sveden. I am making das moovies mit mine friend Inga, fvor ve are very poor." - Christian Graus, Oct 29 2001 -----------------------------

      Say this on www.memepool.com A quote from http://pi.nersc.gov/: "Search the first four billion binary digits of Pi for a string" Hey, it found my first name :)

      search string = "henrik"
      30-bit binary equivalent = 010000010101110100100100101011

      search string found at binary index = 2319774228
      binary pi : 0110110001000001010111010010010010101101111110000011110101000011

        BTW, have you seen : "Pi, the movie" ? It is a very very good movie ( a little difficult ), and the soundtrack is very good too. http://www.pithemovie.com/ You ca nalso read the book Contact ( Calr Sagan : http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671004107/inktomi-bkasin-20/103-9835181-8199807 ) Stephane

          stephane Stephane we all feel your pain :(( Either God does find you relevant in his first 4 billion digits of Pi plan, or more likely your parents are to blame for giving you a name that didn't fall into God's plan. Can you change your name by deed poll in your country, If you need a legitimate reason you most certainly have one. As I said before I'm sure we all feel your pain, Regardz Colin J Davies colin@vmtu.com

            Pi is infinite decimal which I guess gives an increased probabiliy of finding your name in there because you can't search all of it.

                How do we know that they've got the right binary representation of the decimal number? ;P

                  How do we know if PI was meant to be decoded in binary?

                    For that matter, how do we know PI was meant to be decoded in decimal? Maybe it should stay as a fraction! :omg:
