theorem Erdos251.erdos_251 :
Irrational (∑' (n : ), (Nat.nth Nat.Prime n) / 2 ^ n) sorry

Is $$\sum_{n} \frac{p_n}{2^n}$$ irrational? Here $p_n$ is the $n$-th prime. With the convention $p_1 = 2$, the sum in the formal statement is half the sum in the informal statement, which doesn't influence the irrationality.
