Ok, this one I can do:
n = sqrt(1/2^(2^0) + sqrt(1/2^(2^1) + sqrt(1/2^(2^2) + ...)))
(1/sqrt(2))*n = sqrt(1/2^(2^1) + sqrt(1/2^(2^2) + sqrt(1/2^(2^3) + ...)))
Er ... don't follow this step, I'm afraid ... WFL
Apologies --- I had misread the parentheses. [And as a result wasted some time attempting to prove said number transcendental!] WFL
