    I thought the way they hid amongi was really cool and clever. Not taking others' turf over, not vandalizing everything with mismatched colors or huge designs - just hanging out in the details, often only a shade or two off the predominant color around it. Cool stuff.

    I know that the normality of Pi hasn’t been proven, but assuming it is normal, then somewhere in the digits of Pi is this entire video. I don’t think the surprise was finding the Amongi, but rather, finding them so quickly. I don’t know enough probability to compute it, but would be curious to know if the first Amongus showed up *sooner* than *expected* or if it was right about where one would expect to find any arbitrary string of that length.

      The max resolution for this video is 1080p, so each frame has 1,080 x 1,920 = 2,073,600 pixels. Let's assume the video is 24fps. The video is 18 minutes and 3 seconds long. That's 1,083 seconds with 24 frames in each, making 25,992 frames. 25,992 x 2,073,600 = 53,897,011,200 pixels in the entire video. If we write pi in base n, where n is however many colours are possible for each pixel (I believe it's 256^3), then it would take around 2^53,897,011,200 digits to find this video. Is that right?

To check this, Arroway writes a program that computes the digits of ππ in several bases, and eventually finds that the base 11 representation of ππ contains a sequence of ones and zeros that, when properly aligned on a page, produce a circular pattern."

But then I came to understand that pi is a natural result of numbers, that pops up in all sorts of places that have nothing to do with circles, and has nothing to do with the geometry of our universe. If your universe has integers, then it will have the same value for pi, and there's nothing that aliens or god could do about it.

    Just a few random musings on attempting to find Wally/Waldo in the digits of pi:
    Create grids of pixels that look like the letters in Wally/Waldo names, letting Pi be the arbitrator of which is correct.
    Using Pi as an endlessly long list of characters that can then be translated into letters (taking 00, or 01 and assigning that to A) and then searching for the first time that you manage to find all five "letters" in the correct order.
    Have each number represent a number of pixels in a specific 1x9 grid of pixels, and then draw Wally in a 9xY grid, then find a set that matches the value (this ones a stretch, but seems most likely to work quickly)
    Reverse the process, find Pi in Wally, using programs that can convert images (or sections of images) into "random" numbers, find a Where's Wally Picture or section of picture containing Wally that can provide you with at least the first 3 consecutive digits of Pi (3.14, no dropping the 3) since there are a finite number of Where's Wally images, you could probably also have images compete to find the longest chain of Pi digits.

    A less-cheatingy way of finding Walter (I'm compromising between the Wally/Waldo camps, it's 3 away from both) is to have strings of 24 binary digits represent a single RGB pixel, then you can have a function that allows for colors to be a certain percentage "off" from the original. I still don't think you'll find him even if you try all the possible wrappings, but it's worth a shot

    The real question is what is the longest string people can find in Pi which corresponds with the start of Pi, needing to be offset by at least one digit. Theoretically you should be able to find Pi to any precision further down the digits of Pi (e.g. 3141 appears 4 other times in the first million digits of Pi). So how good of an approximation to Pi can you find within Pi...? π

      and one below the branch under the one he pointed to.. (possibly one in the box in the lower left of his screen)

      and another, but there are pixels adjacent that are the same color so it's a bit ruined but, look at the one you found. trace the left leg down til you reach the tip of the branch. (sort of looks like a 'w') that branch traces out the negative space of its face with the dark yellow dot towards the right as the space between its legs...it's lying facedown with the head on the right and legs on the left.

    Many years ago, I read a science fiction story in _Analog_ about someone who used a computer to compute PI to a gazillion places and started discovering pictures, diagrams, maps, and manuscripts embedded in it.
    Of course, like a bunch of monkeys at typewriters, if you have an infinite number of random digits, you'll eventually find every possible image, book, sound file that can exist.

      I don't know what RV means, but he looks identical to the version shown in the video. You can also just google "wo ist walter?"

      @1996Pinocchio it was a joke about a character from a tv series called Breaking Bad. His name is walter White
      He is a chemistry professor who started producing drugs in the RV(recreational vehicle).
      It is a reaccuring meme just like among us.
