I'd guess that the last digit is 2. Please feel free to prove me wrong

Your guess is "the last digit is 2". This necessarily implies that your full guess is: "there exists a last digit, and that last digit is 2". I'll happily prove that wrong :)

PI does get irrational sometimes. It do be what it is.

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Same here. I'm not always rational myself. I don't have the moral high ground to judge π in any meaningful way

I would bet my left achilles tendon that its a 9. The vibe it gives off is odd number-ish

[-] ray@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago

I like symmetry, so I'm hoping it's a 3

The last digit of pi is clearly the i, which would be equivalent to 19 after converting to base 10.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago

How is i equivalent to 19? It's that a typo and you mean 9?

[-] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 0 points 8 months ago

"i" should be 18 if we're extending hexadecimal to enneadecimal.

[-] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, i get that pi is a very od number and two is like the most even number
