So, the probability of six nines occurring together, in a random sequence,
would be one in one hundred thousand. If 999999 occurs after the 762nd
digit after the decimal point of pi, I now recognize that is surprising.
There's a run of 11 9s starting at the 27,014,073,304th decimal place.
There's a run of 17 equal digits starting at the 28,642,224,609,576th
decimal place, but I don't know what digit it is. It comes before any
runs of exactly 15 or 16.

initial 3).
