Just recite a million random numbers. Pi goes on forever. The sequence you recite is bound to be in there somewhere.

Hahaha! I’m not advocating for any elaborate conspiracy theories here, I just thought this was funny. This short video has appeared on a couple professional news feeds (The Hill, Bloomberg) and it features some blatantly obvious Read more…

To save time, let’s have Python do it!
import random
i = 0
while i < 1000000:
print(random.randint(0, 9))
i += 1

…Indents don’t survive the Wrath of Blog…

I restored the indents with some HTML trickery…
But there’s a more efficient way…
import random;
int i = random.randint(Math.pow(10,6), Math.pow(10,7)-1);
print i;

Wow! You see, I have only taken a half-credit in Intro to Programming… 🙂

No, wait. Won’t your code just print a random 7-digit number? How will it get a million digits?

Hahaha… you’re right, whooops… what I meant was…
import random;
int i = random.randint(Math.pow(10,1000000), Math.pow(10,1000001)-1);
print i;
(But the efficiency is tongue-in-cheek, since it wouldn’t work anyway.)

Indeed — adapting that code to Python, it protests a Math.range error 😉

Meanwhile, your blog doesn’t want me to post a million digits. “Error: please type a comment.”
