Digits of an integral.

New problem:

B asks:

What is the 10000 digit after the decimal point of

A says) That is easy, that integral equals .39 so the answer is obviously a zero. You are slipping B.

B says) Slipping where? Amazingly you...

C says) Yes it is a 0 for precisely the reason A says. Well done A.

D says) Well, even a blind squirrel can find an acorn now and then and A is both right and wrong. Or maybe he is 2 / 3 wrong and 1 / 3 right I am not sure.

E says) Amazing conclusion D.

What is the digit?
