There's a 9 repeating 6 times in there which I'd think is a pretty rare occurrence in pi. I wonder what the longest occurrence of a repeating digit is.

Pi is infinite so every combination/string of numbers is in there, if we calculated enough you could find a billion 2s next to each other

You can look through the first trillion here

Not necessarily. It could just become a series of 1's repeating forever. Nothing would require it to contain all strings of numbers.

If that happens in a number, then it is rational. Pi is not rational, so that will never happen in pi.
