A week ago I was verifying and extending a sequence of numbers/assertions that Claudio Meller had published in Futility Closet nine years ago: https://www.futilitycloset.com/2011/10/01/on-target-2/ I soon enough realized that for the letter 'w' a purely numerical proxy could be employed. Consider the list of positive base-ten integers: 1, 2, 3, ... The second occurrence of the digit 2 in the list is in 12; the fifth and sixth, in 22. A search for the n-th occurrence of 2 happening in the number n came up with three pairs: 28263827 & 28263828, 242463827 & 242463828, and 528263827 & 528263828. Note that the third pair is exactly 500 million more than the first. On Sunday I found the next one: The 2222222222nd occurrence of 2 in the list is the second 2 in 2222222222. I was of course mildly surprised. Is this an amazing coincidence or is there a way of framing the observation so that it appears somewhat less remarkable?
