Jun 9, 2017 at 16:15 comment added user58826 Hello! This looks like a good but abandoned meta post, would you be willing to offer it for adoption? (If you want to, you can still post to main.) Due to community guidelines, if you don't respond to this comment in 7 days I have permission to adopt this.

Mar 11, 2014 at 17:20 comment added Comintern Edited to clarify leading zeros and indexing. @squeamishossifrage - Yes and no. The number of digits to find the answer depends on the input, which both limits the choice of algorithm to generate the search space and gives more ample room to golf the integration of the search function. The worst case is under 10000 digits for n between 0 and 1000. I suppose I could put in a time limit of a couple minutes and expand the range of n to 10000 (worst case is just under 390k), but that seems obnoxious. Thoughts?
Mar 11, 2014 at 14:59 comment added r3mainer Isn't this just Calculate 500 digits of pi with a search function tagged on at the end? By the way, your bonus points are quite safe — even if you searched a trillion trillion trillion digits of pi, your chance of finding an arbitrary 39-digit sequence would still be less than 0.1%.
Mar 11, 2014 at 6:58 comment added Peter Taylor It's not clear to me whether you require answers to support leading zeroes. Also: program, named function or snippet? And how indexed? (Giving 415 as a test case would be a good way to answer the last question)
