theorem Erdos68.erdos_68 :
Irrational (∑' (n : ), 1 / ((n + 2).factorial - 1)) sorry

Is $$\sum_{n=2}^\infty \frac{1}{n!-1}$$ irrational?

theorem Erdos68.sum_factorial_inv_eq_geometric :
let f := fun (n k : ) => 1 / (n + 2).factorial ^ (k + 1); ∑' (n : ), 1 / ((n + 2).factorial - 1) = ∑' (n : ) (k : ), f n k

$$\sum_{n=2}^\infty \frac{1}{n!-1} = \sum_{n=2}^\infty \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{(n!)^k}$$
