It is known that the Champernowne constant is normal in base 10 (Champernowne 1933, Bailey
and Crandall 2002), though the following table giving the counts of decimal
digits in the first fractional decimal digits
shows unequal finite frequencies through
decimal digits, with an
excess of 1s and a deficit of 0s when cutting the decimal-digit string off at locations such as
.
