This is a direct follow-up to https://mathoverflow.net/questions/173414/conjecture-on-irrational-algebraic-numbers. 

Take the decimal expansion for $\sqrt{2},$ but now think of it as the base $11$ expansion of some number $\theta_{11}.$ Is there an easy (or, failing that, hard) proof that $\theta_{11}$ is transcendental? Of course, same question stands for $\theta_k,$ for your favorite $k>10.$
