It's literally an xkcd, #882 https://xkcd.com/882/

There's a large literature of people looking for non-randomness in pi, and failing.

If you try 50,000 different tests, with a z-score of 3.29 then 0.1% - 50 of them - will give false positives.

Getting higher z-scores now. But you could always just try running the code yourself
