[seqfan] Re: What is A179954?

[Alonso Del Arte]

What I am understanding from Baillie (2008) is this: from A010784, you take
the terms with exactly ten digits. The k should run *not* from 1 to 3265920,
but from whatever value indexes 1023456789 in A010784 to whatever value
indexes 9876543210. The sum should therefore be:

1/1023456789 + 1/1023456798 + ... + 1/9876543210

The thing that makes it clear to me is on page 5 where he writes "This means
the denominators have exactly 10 digits, all distinct."
