Hello, me too, I tested the number : 1.5586704364253890428102239834708593333956927955614839145443974035222006762271 836687890293324686544157081366005148135551215282556... on my souped-up version at home ; niet, nothing. I also tried various factorial bases and nothing came out, in last resort, tried identify(); the builtin maple program as well, : nothing. and a home made PSLQ with 126 experiments with various numbers: nothing came out. conclusion : I don't know what is this number.

Does anyone recognize the sum (for n>=1) of
log(n+1) -------- n!
The numerical value is roughly 1.5586704364253894. My attempts to use ISC found no matches, but I'm no expert on looking for non-obvious matches.
