"The digits of pi are infinite and go on forever without repeating. However, we can give you an approximate value. As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, the first 31 digits of pi are: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510

The last digit is: 0"

The last digit of 2 is 0: 2.00000 00000 00000 00000 00000 00000 0

That's 50 digits of pi not 31. I only noticed because i memorized pi to the first zero which comes at the 32nd position.

That's literally the only digit it couldn't be, if there was a last digit.

I like how "as of my knowledge cutoff" implies that maybe the first 31 digits of pi might change someday.

[–] lemmysmash@piefed.social 19 points 9 hours ago

You are absolutely right to question that! Let me check...

I can't wait for an updated knowledge cutoff to find the updated first 31 digits!
