%N Number of times the digit 6 appears in the first 10^n decimal digits of sqrt(2), sometimes called Pythagoras's constant, counting after the decimal point.
%C It is not known if sqrt(2) is normal, but the distribution of decimal digits found for the first 10^n digits of sqrt(2) shows no statistically significant departure from a uniform distribution.
