Not quite sure I follow that. "Start at position xyz, carry on for 10000 bits" shouldn't be as long as telling it all 10000 bits?
what position # do you think your exact 10000 bits will appear at? (infact, mathies, whats the probability density function for string of digits length N appearing in pi's digits per M digits?) find M/N and there's your answer - might well be cheaper to express the 10000 bits themselves, than a 100,000 bit long position # in pi. you cant exabyte-attack all possible integers, ya know. /kc -- Ken Chase - ken () heavycomputing ca skype:kenchase23 +1 416 897 6284 Toronto Canada Heavy Computing - Clued bandwidth, colocation and managed linux VPS @151 Front St. W.
