Looked it up, and it's apparently called the Feynman point after Physicist Richard Feynman (though the story behind that attribution is disputed). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_nines_in_pi?wprov=sfla1

    That's fascinating. Obviously, there's a series of repeating numbers in there, and one of the numbers would have a highest number of repeats... until further places of pi are determined and another number knocks it off... I assume there's a repeating 1, or 2 that repeats 7 or 8 times,etc... at some point...
