Stick to it, please, I'm sure you'll eventually manage.

The missing point for me was that there are efficient approximations of the Harmonic numbers, and that we can easily find the point when the partial sum can be reduced to log(2).
Now I think I have an idea to calculate the sum in a different (but maybe equivalent) way than Werner, and my understanding is that it will also prove that the sum is convergent.

Edit: Result 2.08637766501 confirmed Smile I will post my HP-71B program and comments soon...
