**I would pay for a team of scinetists to design, build and program a Massively Distributed Network of say 1,000,000 P4s so I can truly say that I have the best/fastest computer in the world (would that be faster than a Kray3?).

Use that computer to find The End Of Pi.

Make a web site that has live updates of Pi (number by number), which also has a search function to find your name in Pi.

Well it has been done by the goverment none the less! here is the link! http://pi.nersc.gov/

Post your results!

I searched for my first name

search string = “zach”
20-bit binary equivalent = 11010000010001101000

search string found at binary index = 487235060
binary pi : 0001011111010000010001101000000000000001011111000001011110000110
binary string: 11010000010001101000
character pi : keggrbxjdwhysypwzach__k,b;clth_gxedmc
character string: zach

In 1996, NERSC Chief Technologist David H. Bailey, together with Canadian mathematicians Peter Borwein and Simon Plouffe, found a new formula for pi. This formula permits one to calculate the n-th binary or hexadecimal digits of pi, without having to calculate any of the preceding n-1 digits. This formula was discovered by a computer, using Bailey’s implementation of Ferguson’s PSLQ algorithm. More recently (2001), Bailey and colleague Richard Crandall of Reed College have shown that the existence of this new formula has significant implications for the age-old question: Are the digits of pi random?

forgot to add that! sorry!

search string = “ceciladams”
50-bit binary equivalent = 00011001010001101001011000000100100000010110110011

string does not occur in first 4 billion binary digits of pi
