what's that "law" about the occurence of more 1s than 9s (and so on)

fractions & powers of pi, gamma of pi etc. must also have this

Yeah -- if I'm thinking of the same thing -- what *is* that theory
about tables of "random" numbers generated from apparently adequate
pseudo-random sources actually being systematically biased towards
certain numbers? I remember reading about it once and, as I recall,
failing to understand it. Is it something to do with the first digits
of numbers? That rings a faint bell.

No joy with Google ... could anyone explain or give a reference?
