it has not been proven for any specific real number.

That surely ought to be rephrased, or else I could specify a number by a continued fraction, which worked. Charles Matthews 14:05, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Algorithm

Why does it take Mathematica 5 so damn long to calculate the constant to 10000 decimal place, while it can calculate it to 2000 places in 0. seconds

Khinchin's constant is very expensive to calculate even for just a few thousand digits. It seems that Mathematica has the 5000 first digits or so pre-computed. Fredrik Johansson 11:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
