      pi ends with the digit 9, followed by an infinite sequence of other digits.

      That’s a very interesting use of the word “ends”.

        TBF, if your goal is to generate the most valid sentence that directly answers the question, it’s only one minor abstract noun that’s broken here.

        Edit: I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a substantial drop in the probability of a digit being listed after the leading 9 (3.14159…), even, so it is “last” in a sense.

        Edit again: Man, Baader-Meinhof so hard. Somehow pi to 5 digits came up more than once in 24 hours, so yes.

            There’s probably some finetuning at play for Amazon’s thing which makes it tend to always give a straight answer, instead of stepping outside of the box and doing something like correcting an implicit assumption.
