[umypunol] Entropy-matched decimal and binary

Write (say) pi in base 10 and in base 2 in parallel along a long strip of paper with the digits spaced out so that there are log(10)/log(2) binary bits per digit.  (The ratio is not a rational number.)  They both encode the same amount of information per unit length along a strip of paper.

This should be easy.
