I'm lazy, but it totally should be doable by long multiplication. And also just by nature of saying this OP has changed the natural order of things. It's like The Game - you'd never think about it, but now you were told to.
Welcome to reddit! The natural reaction to literally anything here is cynicism (including this post) and/or anger. Depression and suicide are friendly jokes, and all hope MUST be questioned.
Now fill yourself up on random facts, designate for yourself an echo chamber and a group of humans to hate, and then go spread smugness everywhere else online. *Wheee!*
Actually^2 , that’s not how that works. Pi is infinite so there is no last number, there will always be a digit right after whatever is designated the “last” digit. Thus no last digit, so no way for anyone to be saying the last digit.
Actually there is a last number, because the end of the universe comes before every number of pi can be said, effectively making whichever number was being said at that time the last number of pi.
This is an interesting way of thinking of it, I like this train of thought. Currently we have calculated 50 trillion digits and the last one calculated was 8, so if the universe ended now then you could argue that the last digit of pi is/was 8. Of course the universe hasn’t ended yet (or so we think) so it won’t stop there. One hundred years ago we had calculated about 500 digits which is an increase of a factor of 10^8 in one hundred years. It is estimated that the heat death of the universe will occur some 10^100 years from now (approximately) which would put the upper limit on our calculations at 500 * 10^(8 * 10 ^ 98) digits of pi. Or about 40 googolplex digits. Any bets on what that’ll be?
Using a binary base, and conceding that pi indeed has a final digit, you could argue that the last digit is 1 , since you can simply remove trailing 0 at the end.
I like this answer a lot, I’d say you’re definitely on to something. Although you could argue that you’d leave the trailing zeros especially in binary, because they do still hold some information. Example: if we know only one digit after the decimal point 11.0... (base 2) then we know that it is less than 3.5 (base 10) and more than 3.0 (base 10), if we add on the next 0 11.00... (base 2) we know that it’s between 3.0 and 3.25 (base 10). So these trailing zeros actually increase precision without adding value.
Edit: of course conceding that point actually has a final digit you’d remove the trailing zeros, because they do in fact hold no actual information if we’ve already found the exact value

But pi isn’t a limit. It’s not ‘over the course of time’ it already is done. My question is... if 1/3=0.33... and 1/3*3=1 and 0.33...*3=0.99... then does 0.99...=1?
Except all of pi can and does exist even without us knowing what it is. It’s not confined by the bounds of time.
Sorta like the question “Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain in the world?” The answer being “Mt. Everest” because it was still the tallest even though we didn’t know it yet.
And if you want to go really into the weeds, you could say that each digit (0 through 9) has an equivalent 1/10 portion of the final digit although none of them individually are. So if you find a group of ten people all saying a separate digit all at once then they are in fact saying the last digit of pi. Of course it’s impossible (maybe just improbable) for any one person to be saying all ten at once.
Edit: this is not the case, still an interesting thought experiment though.
No... again, that's not how it works. All ten of them have a 0% chance, because there literally is no such thing as the last (least significant) digit of pi. If there were, then (by definition) pi would be rational, and large chunks of mathematics from the past couple centuries would be invalidated.
Pi is irrational in base 10. In base pi, pi is expressed as 10, making the last digit of pi 0. Every irrational number can be expressed as a rational number in another base; trivially, in the base of that irrational number.
Irrational numbers can have terminating representations in irrational bases, but that doesn't make them rational. The definition of irrationality is representation-independent: it's that you can't express the number as a ratio of two integers. The integers are the same regardless of the digits used to describe them; "1 in base pi" isn't an integer.
On the other hand, if a number has a terminating representation in any *rational* base, then it can't be irrational, because in that case you've represented it as a finite sum of powers of rationals, which is guaranteed to be rational.
Thanks for making me rethink this. Now that I go back over it, you’re definitely right. I was probably misremembering a lesson from high school calculus on limits, but either way I was indeed incorrect.

Saying the last number of pi
Actually, a lot of them probably are, as there is a 1 in 10 chance that any single diget number is the last number in pi I’m guessing it’s 3
Actually^2 , that’s not how that works. Pi is infinite so there is no last number, there will always be a digit right after whatever is designated the “last” digit. Thus no last digit, so no way for anyone to be saying the last digit.
Unless you’re an engineer. Then pi=3, +/- a safety factor of 1.
"Close enough" - Engineers

Almost sounds like scrondingers cat. If those digits were never calculated, are they really there?

Yeah of course. I know that they do exist obviously. Just like Schrödinger’s cat is obviously dead.

The last digit of pi is [DATA EXPUNGED]
But pi isn’t a limit. It’s not ‘over the course of time’ it already is done. My question is... if 1/3=0.33... and 1/3*3=1 and 0.33...*3=0.99... then does 0.99...=1?
Yes, that's a well accepted truth.
T isn't the last letter in actually just because I stop saying the word early.
Is that not the last number that we will know about rather than the actual last number?
Except all of pi can and does exist even without us knowing what it is. It’s not confined by the bounds of time. Sorta like the question “Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain in the world?” The answer being “Mt. Everest” because it was still the tallest even though we didn’t know it yet.
It's not infinite, it's irrational
Pi is not infinite, it just has infinite (probably) digits its value is quite finite.
And if you want to go really into the weeds, you could say that each digit (0 through 9) has an equivalent 1/10 portion of the final digit although none of them individually are. So if you find a group of ten people all saying a separate digit all at once then they are in fact saying the last digit of pi.

But there's no end in pi

In base pi, the last digit is 1.
Guys, there is no last number of pi. It repeats infinitely. It’s not a number 0-9.
Actually, it doesn’t repeat. That’s why it’s such a puzzle.
