Do these rational sequences always reach an integer?
Not related to anything, but I am amused that the ambiguity of spoken word operator precedence is now defined in a sequence of interest. The sequence injects parentheses and then drops them, $2*5+1 \rightarrow 2*(5+1) = 2*5+2 \rightarrow 2*(5+2)$ etc

What are examples of (collections of) papers which "close" a field?
I think this answer can be expanded a bit (perhaps by someone more knowledgeable than myself). Russell and Whitehead continued work on the idea, but about the same time of the second edition of Principia Mathematica, Godel published his papers and that kind of killed the project, with some implications for Hilbert's open problems at the time. (I can't find a good source, but IIRC, Russell continued to work on his theory of classes, or at least revisited the idea a little some years later.)

How many rearrangements must fail to alter the value of a sum before you conclude that none do?

How does proof assistant organize knowledge?
Sorry @AndrejBauer I should have added some context. I was assuming you're aware of the content in the linked answer since you left some comments there. I wasn't really commenting on the content of your answer, just trying to leave a footnote here for other people (like me) not as acquainted with the topic: for anyone interested in further reading on the problem of theorem equivalence, see the many different answers to the question I linked.

Old books you would like to have reprinted with high-quality typesetting
Project Gutenberg (edit: a non-profit that exists to enable electronic access to public domain works) has a helpful FAQ about re-releasing works (in the US) without copyright restrictions. The "easy" standard is any edition published before 1923 is always fine, with some exceptions for more recent works. See gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:Copyright_FAQ and of course, consult a lawyer.
