%N Continued fraction expansion of C = 2*Sum_{n>=0} 1/2^(2^n).
%C C arises when looking for a sequence b(n) such that b(1)=0 and b(n+1) is the smallest integer > b(n) such that the continued fraction for 1/2^b(1) + 1/2^b(2) + ... + 1/2^b(n+1) contains only 1's or 2's. It arises because b(n) = 2^n - 1 and C = Sum_{k>=0} 1/2^b(k). - _Benoit Cloitre_, Nov 03 2002
