Finding Substrings in Pi

Tomaz Kastrun has some fun with Pi:

We will do this in the following steps (for the word “eggs”):

  1. Encode the word EGGS to numbers. E = 5, G = 7, G = 7 and S = 19. Together concatenated we get the string of 57719.
  2. We store a veeery long string of PI number.
  3. Start looking in PI number for substring of “57719”.
