I like fourth root of 9.1, myself. The first 52 terms of the continued fraction are: 1, 1, 2, 1, 4, 75656, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 136181, 1, 2, 4, 1, 64, 1, 1, 3602, 4, 1, 12, 7, 8, 1, 2, 4267, 2, 9, 1, 22, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4841, 35, 1, 5, 5, 1, 262344 ... It's easy to find polynomials that have values of order 10^8 or more within the first 1000 terms of the continued fraction. --Ed Pegg Jr.
