%C A082839 "The most novel culling of the terms of the harmonic series has to be 
               due to A. J. Kempner, who in 1914 considered what would happen if 
               all terms are removed from it which have a particular digit appearing 
               in their denominators. For example, if we choose the digits 7, we 
               would exclude the terms with denominators such as 7, 27, 173,33779, 
               etc. There are 10 such series, each resulting from the removal of 
               one of the digits 0, 1, 2, ..., 9 and the first question which naturally 
               arises is just what percentage of the terms of the series are we 
               removing by the process?"
%C A082839 "The sum of the reciprocals, 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 + ... [A002387] 
               is unbounded. By taking sufficiently many terms, it can be made as 
               large as one pleases. However, if the reciprocals of all numbers 
               that when written in base 10 contain at least one 0 are omitted, 
               then the sum has the limit, 23.10345... [Boas and Wrench, AMM v78]."
