Pi, action $3Begin naming digits of pi until you name one incorrectly. For each correctly named digit, +$1. If you correctly name 100 digits, you win.-$10 (to a minimum of $0)--------Setup: In games using this, calculators are not allowed within 10 metres of the table.

Easy win!

Easy win!I think I'd get +$13. Which really is far too much, Pi is ~3.14 for most purposes, 3.1416 for precise work.

Pretty sure I can win every time just by naming 100 numbers......at no point does it say they have to be the ones at the beginning....

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

And this one is Simone.

Witherweaver is a smart person.
Ozle never claimed to need pi to contain every sequence. Only infinite digits. Which it does.Edit: Actually only 100 digits.

Which it does.Edit: Actually only 100 digits.He claimed that he could pick any 100 numbers at random, which is still a lot stronger of a claim than saying that pi is irrational. I don't know what the longest K is such that every K-digit string has been found in the expansion of pi so far... It would need to be much less than 100, because it would take close to 10^K known digits at the least...
He could name "0" 100 times and be right. There are 100 zeros.

In one famous case, the spacing between the 1s just keeps growing each time.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liouville_numberMore than you probably want to know, but that's how these things are.
