One of the properties that π is conjectured to have is that it is normal, which is to say that its digits are all distributed evenly, with the implication that it is a disjunctive sequence, meaning that all possible finite sequences of digits will be present somewhere in it.

There is no guarantee for any specific sequence to appear in π, but for short chunks chances are better (it's not really a probability, but it's simpler to say and I can't explain in details anyway). That's because (from wiki):

It is widely believed that the (computable) numbers √2, π, and e are normal, but a proof remains elusive.

It's pronounced "Piff Es" for anyone wondering

Idk if it's irony, but the real pronounce is probably /paɪ ɛf-ɛs/ (english)
or /'pi fs/ in every other language that reads ~~letters as they are written~~ normally

I think it's akin to ‘GIF is pronounced ziph’
