Lol.

I once saw a movie that was named Le Thé au harem d'Archimède.

I'm accepting this as canon.

I bet there's some kind of crazy phenomenon that happens to the bases when you do that. And there's definitely an ^(pi * i) in there.

there's always the rather trippy bailey-borwein-plouffe formula that allows you to compute any digit of pi without computing preceding decimals... but it only works in base 16.

Conjecture: There is a procedure for finding a place-value representation of any positive real number such that the choice of base, and perhaps a secondary representation, yields an infinite number of fours.
