Abstract

It has been generally conjectured, based on empirical evidence, that the digits of represent a random sequence. Some recent experiements appear to challenge this conjecture. This note describes a more extensive set of experiments concerning these reported anomalies, which betray no significant evidence of non-randomness. Results for and are also given.
