    9 (the base pi number) doesn’t exist because all digits must be less than pi. 9 (the base 10 number) is apparently roughly 22.2021120021 in base pi.

    Edit: a bit of explanation for that last one, it’s because 2π + 2 + 2/π + 2/π3 + 1/π4 ≈ 8.99

      Technically they didn’t specify what number their use of the symbol ‘9’ represents!!!
