Goldbach's conjecture says every even integer greater than 2 is the sum of two primes. For 1962, here are decompositions:
- 11 + 1951 = 1962
- 13 + 1949 = 1962
- 29 + 1933 = 1962
- 31 + 1931 = 1962
- 61 + 1901 = 1962
- 73 + 1889 = 1962
- 83 + 1879 = 1962
- 89 + 1873 = 1962
Showing the first eight; more decompositions exist.

The digit sequence 1962 first appears in π at position 9,077 of the decimal expansion (the 9,077ordinal-suffix:th digit after the integer 3).
Search range: the first 1,000,000 fractional digits of π. Any 6-digit-or-shorter string is virtually guaranteed to appear in there — the more interesting signal is the position.
