Re: √1+(√2+(√3+(√4+... = ? Harder than it seems
Depends on how you interpret a result like that.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Nothing against either Borwein, they are brilliant guys.
The i guy used it as an excuse for not doing numerical work.

Look at this poster before 2013 Asian Football Championship, the score will be 3:0

Hi;
Yes, that is a different problem.
