Heh. Jeremy, your reference is correct. To check that out just go to
http://books.google.com/books?id=ONCQUUWjUc8C
search 157 inside the book, and click onto Page 36 in the search results.

So, English translation is somewhat different from Russian original.

Jeremy, i think the [sequence of decimal digits of the]
number is in the OEIS.
Neil

Let S be the set of positive integers that, when written in
base 10, does not contain the digit 9. Show that
the sum of 1/n over all n = =91 S converges and is less than 80.


As I recall, Bob Wilson (rgwv) was involved in
computing it, or extending it. - Bob?
