Pi file compression

Name: Anonymous 2018-08-13 10:37

You can compress any file to almost nothing using digits of pi. Ignore the decimal place.

All you need is the starting and ending digits. That's the entire pi file. Then, the uncompressed file is all of the digits in between (and including) the starting and ending digits, then converted to binary.

Example: if you want to represent the value 000000110000000100000100 (or 196868 in decimal, though it can be any sort of data type too), the pi file would just be [0,2] to include the 0th, 1st, and 2nd digits of pi (3, 1, and 4).

All numbers are just 0-9. Surely you mean it doesn't contain all possible numeric combinations, right? But pi goes on forever, does it not? Besides, it would at least have all combinations of numbers that would be useful for modern file sizes. You don't need some terabyte or petabyte combination when many files are just kilobytes and megabytes. The likelihood of finding an appropriate pi digit range for small files is much higher.
