How about ANY FINITE SEQUENCE AT ALL?

No, the fact that a number is infinite and non-repeating doesn't mean that and since in order to disprove something you need only one example here it is: 0.1101001000100001000001... this is a number that goes 1 and then x times 0 with x incrementing. It is infinite and non-repeating, yet doesn't contain a single 2.

But didn't you just give a counterexample with an infinite number? OP only said something about finite numbers.

They were showing that another Infinite repeating sequence 0.1010010001... is infinite and non-repeating (like pi) but doesn't contain all finite numbers

You mean infinite and non- repeating?

This! Fixed it. Thanks!
