Allow me to write a question then:

What is the 22nd number after the 3. of pi?

It's a trick question, there is no 22nd digit it goes straight from 21st to 23rd.

Not true, remember it’s endless, and to the best of my knowledge, no numbers are ever skipped in pi (This screenshot is from Google on my Safari app on my phone)

As an aside, how do we know it's infinite? Just because we've not got to the end doesn't mean there isn't one

[MotCO]

Is it pi?

 

[DaleCooper]

We've had 0 - 9 inclusive suggested so one of those must be right.

 

[MotCO]

But why was the 22nd position specifically asked for - it may be something particular.

 

[Gloster]

I have just looked it up and it is one of the answers above. (Well it would be, wouldn’t it.) However, I can’t see anything special about it, although there may be some significance that I have missed.

I suspect it was chosen at random.

No more significant than any other digit.

6 = don't think we've had that yet.

Correct, according to https://decimal.info/digits-of-pi/value-of-pi-to-22-decimal-places.html.
Over to you now.

What is the 22nd digit of Pi? The last digit of the number above is the 22nd decimal of Pi. As you can see, the 22nd decimal of Pi is 6. However, Pi starts with 3 which is also a digit. Thus, if you start at 3, then the twenty-second digit of Pi is 2.
