3.14 ............ Pi is a transcendental figure without resolution. I think it’s been computed to millions of digits , with no repeating patterns ever found. Perhaps with modern computers it can be calculated to an infinite number of digits, if enough resources are devoted to the task.

...an infinite number of digits...

I once downloaded a text file containing the computed value of PI to twenty million digits and searched the text for certain phrases.

I found my social security number and every telephone number I have ever had, somewhere in the text.

Cue the creepy science fiction movie music here...
