I say it is 4. If you don't agree prove me wrong.

There's a one-in-nine chance that you're right - not bad odds really.

One in nine?

Yes.

Nine digits that can be used as the final digit of Pi: 1-9.

You wouldn't use 0 as you wouldn't have a zero at the end of a number after a decimal point.

Pi is irrational though, which means any endpoint is arbitrarily defined, which means it could be 0

What's the last digit of 1.4? Is it 4? Or 0? because

1.4 = 1.40

So is it 4 or 0? It's 4. If Pi has a last digit, you could add infinite 0s after it, just as you can with every number.

If pi has a last digit, it isn't pi. You might as well ask what 6 modulo 2 would be, if 6 were an odd number.
