  James is always telling constants they're his favourite but he keeps dumping them for newer, hotter constants

  Hi everyone! I&apos;m one of the authors of the paper. First of all, special thanks to James for helping a bunch of random friends from another country publish our first paper, AND making a Numberphile video about it!<br>If anyone&apos;s interested in a challenge here are some things we didn&apos;t manege to prove:<br><br>-Is the constant transcendental?<br>-What happens to the sequence if we pick our starting constant f1 to be a rational number? Does it always get &quot;stuck&quot; at a certain point?<br><br>Also feel free to ask us anything, we are very glad to see people commenting about their own research and experiments on the formula!<br>And if you feel you made any new or interesting discovery about the formula or constant, please do post about it!

  “I’ve got a new favourite constant” (with a beaming face of joy). This is the purest form of numberphile and I love it 😍

  It&apos;s always a treat to see Dr James Grime know every constant to 10+ decimal places

  Dr. James Grime still looks like the age when we used to solve puzzles on his channel

  I can&apos;t imagine being smart enough to see a maths video on YouTube and go &quot;you know what, I can do better than that&quot; and then find a new, seemingly very useful, constant.
