| Oct 27, 2014 at 21:19 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl♦ | One would expect this sum to be transcendental, but even proving irrationality of the sum of two given transcendental numbers tends to be hard. | |

| Oct 27, 2014 at 20:43 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta | To make this question more self contained, I would recommend giving the number itself. | |
