These are no fractions, are they? (Posted on 2006-09-05) Difficulty: 3 of 5
You are probably quite certain that the following numbers are irrational. But can you prove it?

a = 0.149162536496481...

b = 0.2357111317192329...

c = 0.1248163264128256...

(In reply to solution for b ? by Robby Goetschalckx)

Doubt that anyone had come back to this.

I had thought Fibonnacci, but no.

I then thought, a la fibonnacci, difference of adjacent numbers squared.

The progression then appeared to be 'the sequence of primes'.

Can this explain this, I mean a prime sequence of this type as well:  See Other ViewPoint   ?
