all numbers are rationnal.

[J H Davenport]

>>    sum(n=0..infinity, 10^(-(2^n))) = 1.010100010000000100...
My recollection is that is is
    sum(n=0..infinity, 10^(-n!))) = 1.010001000000000000000001000...
It was invented by Liouville, and was the first known transcendental
number (by which I mean the first number known to be transcendental).
Again, this has nothing to do with the Bigfloat CD.
