It is likely that the exponent can be reduced to , where is an infinitesimally small number Borwein et al.
It is not known if , , or are irrational. However, it is known that they cannot satisfy any polynomial equation of degree with integer coefficients of average size Bailey ab, Borwein et al.
Conway has shown that there is a sequence of fewer than 40 fractions , , For example, it occurs in the normalization of the normal distribution , in the distribution of primes , in the construction of numbers which are very close to integers the Ramanujan constant , and in the probability that a pin dropped on a set of parallel lines intersects a line Buffon's needle problem.
