Earls Sequence


The Earls sequence gives the starting position in the decimal digits of pi (or in general, any constant), not counting digits to the left of the decimal point, at which a string of n copies of the number n first occurs. The following table gives generalized Earls sequences for various constants, including pi.

Note that the 20-digit sequence 10...10_()_(10) does not occur in the first 1.1×10^(10) digits of pi, nor in fact do any of the 2n-digit sequences xy...xy_()_(xy) for any two-digit number n=10x+y with 1<=x<=9 and 0<=y<=9 (E. W. Weisstein, Jul. 20, 2013).
