Where I say that the sum of the first 32 digits is "150, trust me" at 33:10 I mean to say "155, trust me". Never trust anyone that says "trust me". Trust me.

😂😂😂

[@mattb5816]

I’ve know some people who said “trust me.” Trust me, I don’t trust them.

Listen closely to 6:46 and 10 seconds forward... Reminds me of "And I said wait a second, why don't I use the synthesizer, which IS the sound of the future... My name is Giovanni Giorgio... But... Everybody calls me Giorgio" ... He has that same voice and accent, and even talks about synthesizers and music too!

Vihart did something musical this year too. Interesting.

My ATM card pin is the last 6 digits of Pi.

Note taken

[@ARKGAMING]

The _last_ digits?

[@jansenart0]

...turns out they use Casio calculators.

Made me wonder too

Happy Pi Day!

Excited to hear he's from Perth!

[@N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S.]

Same!

[@trucid2]

Aren't digits of pi essentially statistically random? So they're producing music from random data. Doesn't sound as glamorous as doing it from digits of pi.

[@numberphile2]

Some would argue that the Earth is just a random happening - but it’s OUR random happening. :)

I cant watch that artwork spinning. Its giving me a headache

[@kornsuwin]

hi

[@davidroddini1512]

Last digit of pi?! I didn’t think pi had a last digit. It is my understanding that it goes on infinitely.

[@markzambelli]

I'm assuming you actually listened to the podcast after you posted?... if not you should.

[@mayankscientist5769]

Why the fuck I'm watch' this 2Am in the morning
OR m I ✌️

[@sparkmagea99]

Fascinating experiment, but not beautiful

[@BeastOfTraal]

Assuming Pi is normal every riff should appear somewhere in Pi. So where does "Smoke On The Water" first appear?

[@TheChondriac]

Ooh this is exciting. Starting pi day at 2am here in California with this podcast 🥧

[@ig2d]

I see what you did there!! Though strictly speaking you should have started almost a minute earlier

Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise

[@mrbear8462]

Different music in base 9... Less interesting in Base 2 (ni-naw.. ni-naw...)

[@blue_tetris]

"Last digit of pi" clickbait! Only the decimal expansion of a rational number has a last digit, dear friends!
