Finding Waldo in π

I agree. Relying on an external data for interpretation is less impressive. The most impressive would be finding an exact GIF87a file. But, the cheating technique used here isn't a simple task either.

I converted the smallest valid GIF file[1] (35 bytes) into decimal number: 540959129019042423917857241427143195931235689921032801204995597056286563376232988672

It's nowhere to be found in PI :) I couldn't even find "GIF87a". So, fuzzy search seems to be a must.

Ooh, did you search all the way to the end?

I must admit, not all the way.

It is in pi, if pi is a normal number, as most think.
