Does the decimal representation of the square root of 2 contain infinitely many 7s?

It's an irrational number, so it contains infinitely many numbers including 7s.
0.12345689101112131415161819... is an irrational number.

Can that number not be in the fractional form:

0.12345689101112131415161819/1

and thus actually be a rational number?

(Unless the ellipses is implying that the number is recurring or continuing further forever and ever and ever)

Never mind, previous post has answered this.

You do realize that there is an infinite number of digits after the "...", right? Infite means never-ending not pretty huge.
True, but I can find a never ending list of integers that don't contain a 7.

Well, I'm no mathematican, but irrational roots kind of represent a proportion that gets more and more accurate as more digits are involved. I think that to make this proportion infinitely accurate you would need 7s and since the digits go on forever there would be an infinite number of them.
It's actually really difficult to give any reasonable answer, and I don't think anyone's figured it out either way. It's true that there are sevens in the decimal representation of the square root of 2, but it's totally possible for there to be some sort of a "cutoff point", beyond which there are no more sevens and the number continues in the way I described above. There's no way that I've heard of for proving whether it does this or not.

OK, fine, it's slightly dickish of me to ask a question when I already know the "answer", but procrastinating exam revision does terrible things.

Assuming this is still going on, I have a question:
Assuming the answer to the ultimate question is "42", and the meaning of life is for a society to develop touchscreen smartphones, (Evidence: http://goats.com/archive/090107.html ) is the ultimate question: "How many years must a society survive after having developed touchscreen smartphones in order to achieve perfection?"?

Yes, as some people have actually pointed out, however, since it goes on forever, there might be a point where it stops switching between numbers, or a point where it ceases to have sevens but continues to extend. If that were to be so, the number would have a finite number of sevens, but an infinite number of digits. However that's impossible to know for sure, seeing as the number stretches infinitely and therefore cannot be monitored for any kind of pattern without becoming rational.

In the future relative to this post.

No, because the answer to life, the universe and everything is actually counter-clockwise, because the only question the universe needs an answer to is which way to spin.
HOWEVER, if we were to use 42 as the answer to the ultimate question, the actual question would be "Velt ses varsees neron geretos berar." Which loosely translates to "How many times do I have to tell these idiots to stop exploring philosophy!?"

You could just stop being an annoying turd, that would help.
Also, pay attention to everything, but only use it when it helps your target...

All you need then, is a young and naive demoness running around after you calling you 'kami-nii-sama'!

On a related note, why do I find Kanae Ito's voice annoying (even though I'm watching a fair few series with her in)?

Now, why am I thinking about a lesbian former fuck-buddy?
1) Because the only thing worse than hearing "THE FIRE TRUCKS ARE COMING!!" yelled into your ear, is having it yelled into your ear in a high-pitched squealy voice that makes deaf people happy to be incapable of being annoyed by it.
...or because you are not a fan of children and therefore the voices they tend to have.

2)Because humans have dedicated themselves to being as half-obsessed with sex as possible, to the extent that having undergone intercourse with someone once, and not having been with over 200 partners and therefore desensitized, immediately marks that person as a post it note in the back of the head that speaks up and yells at you whenever it becomes either:
A) impossible to repeat
B) Terrible
C) Interesting enough to repeat
D) Dead
or
E) Any combination of the above.

(Also, my kitchen's not on fire, Euler's constant is rational, huzzah! Well, there is now a 67.829% chance that it is rational.)

2 is a symbol with a value of 5 and not the number "2". Easy! :D

Why if Pi is so Big Cant i have a slice?!

Nope...well yes technically but the answer I was looking for was "ten in base 4"
It's a portal shout-out you see...

Work in base 4.

Because Mathematicians are selfish and want pi all to themselves.
