I think the number you get when you stick all the prime numbers together 135711131719... has like Champernowne's number also been proven to be normal. > Anything that fails to be me, necessarily fails by a wide margin I disagree, I don't think survival is a all or nothing matter. Did somebody who was shot in the head and suffered massive brain damage survive? Sort of.
