It's a question that has a definite answer but as of today, nobody knows what it is. Maybe in a few decades. What is your guess?

It hasn't even been proven that pi is normal, so even if I guessed, I wouldn't know the probability of being correct.

Is any number truly normal? the only one that I remember that could be are your primary digits to 17 and maybe Champernowne Constant.


Edit: ok, Champernowne IS normal but only in base 10. Dohohoho.

Bah, you remind me of my math and physics obsessed smartass arrogant colleague with whom I had to share a room once.

This is random and silly. We don't even have a mechanism in place to keep track of this.

If there's no way to predict the probability does that automagically change it to 1/10? Oh I hate statistics.

The answer is zero.

There, case closed, end of story, mystery solved, nothing more, you've reached your final destination, end of the line etc etc.

The probability of being correct is 1/10.

It's 4, because I don't jump on bandwagons.

I second, since it´s the only mathemathically correct answer as of yet.

Which of course is not an accepted term/method in math... trust me, i guessed a lot back in the day, when i went to school!
