Permute Pi To Make Phi



There are only a handful of truly legendary numbers, like 0, 1, and Euler’s Number. And there are only 10 digits from 0-9, so it would make sense that we can shift them around to see some interesting things… right?

Sometimes it feels like too much of a coincidence, like being able to take the reciprocal of Pi and permute its digits into the reciprocal of the Golden Ratio. Not enough for you? Tack on another Pi digit and throw it in front of the reciprocal of Phi and you’ll get the actual Golden Ratio’s digits.

HOW CAN THIS BE A COINCIDENCE?!

  1. These are just coincidences basically, the numbers are not really related but you’re picking up on a pattern when you rearrange the digits permuting is kind of like anagrams for numbers or sets but if you choose any amount of digits of pi you could actually make any number. If you flipped a fair coin an infinite amount of times and recorded the sides as binary code you could encode anything.
