Many people are asking for the gif. It’s available in different forms in various places online.

Originally a homage to the Tim and Eric gif. From this video:    • Calculating π by hand: the Chudnovsky...  

The ticking sound in the video was from here.

CORRECTIONS
- I did not properly think through the hexadecimal example. I meant that any such digits on a base-10 calculator would give multiples of 11. On a true hexadecimal calculator you would get multiples of 17 (or any n+1 for base-n). First spotted by MasterHigure.
- Let me know if you spot anything else!
