Help w/PI ... I can't find the whole number?

Suppose a1 is the first digit (after the decimal point) of Pi, a2 is the second digit, and so on. What would the following formula equal:

(a1 - a2) * (a2 - a3) * (a3 - a4) * ... * (a99 - a100)

Update:

Thank you for the responses. What I really needed what a long version of PI, for my class tonight and I recieved it.

    The answer to Lenny's Conundrum 279 is 0...no mater how big anumber is...as soon as it is multiplied by 0, the answer is 0...so, after the huge number you get when multiplying the first 32 intergers it goes to 0...

    I don't know 100 digits of pi but I would guess that somewhere in there there would be two successive digits the same, i.e. an=a(n+1).

    If so, at least one of the factors would be zero and so would the product.

    PI goes on to infinity. The most I know is 3.14159.
