It was not known for a long time that the number $$ \frac{\zeta(2)}{\pi^2} =\frac1{\pi^2}\sum_{n=1}\frac1{n^2} $$ is rational, $1/6$. Euler showed this in his solution of the Basel problem. Related examples include $\zeta(2)^2/\zeta(4)$ and, more generally, $\zeta(2k)/\pi^{2k}$ for integer $k$. I mention this historical fact because of several attempts on MO to find a "closed form" evaluation of $\zeta(3)$ (mostly of the form $\zeta(3)/\pi^3\overset?\in\mathbb Q$, which is numerically confirmed to be doubtfully true).

EDIT. I do understand that not everybody feels this post to be in a (magic) "spirit" of the OP. But I do not understand your downvotes here. Why don't you downvote when somebody puts a problem on finding a "closed form" for $\zeta(3)$? Or when somebody "proves" that $\log2$ is a rational multiple of $\pi^2$? Anyway, I do not remove this post but put it in the community wiki mode, as it might be used, together with this answer and comments therein, as a reference to later silly questions about zeta values.
