Discussion[edit]
I looked at the book[1]. There's nothing about "Egyptian fractions 31/311" in it. Need to be reassured. --Smartsl (talk) 09:59, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

- Odd that it would have been removed, but it's definitely in my print copy of the first edition. More specifically, on 273, it has "Exercise: What is the greedy representation of 31/311? (There are 10 terms, the last of which has a denominator with over 500 digits!)" —David Eppstein (talk) 19:13, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
