Since pi is irrational, it is an infinite, non repeating decimal in every base. Sometimes the simpler 0-1  patterns of base two suggest insights that are obscured by the ten digits of the decimal system. Find the first 20 binary (base two) digits of pi or more, if you have the patience, and explain how you did it. Comment on any patterns or questions you think these digits may suggest.
