A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: a woman with dark hair and glasses excitedly holds up a gray card to a balding, deadpan man in a maroon sweater, saying, "And it turns out if you convert pi to base-27, so each letter gets its own symbol, he first appears at position 6,852,777." A caption below reads: "Funtime activity: Figuring out where's 'Waldo' in fundamental constants of reality." The joke: the word "Waldo" eventually appears somewhere in the infinite digits of pi if you encode it as letters. Votey (aftercomic): handwritten text in a box reads, "10 internet points to the first person to find a way to extract a Waldo VISUAL from the binary expansion of pi."
