I discovered an interesting fact the other day, that you can start with 0, and reach ANY positive rational number by selectively using two different actions:
The two actions are as follows:
a) Adding 1, such that x becomes (x+1)
b) Taking the reciprocal, such that x becomes (1/x)
For example, trying to reach 2/5:
starting with 0,
Action a makes it 1
Action a makes it 2
Action b makes it 1/2
Action a makes it 1 1/2
Action a makes it 2 1/2
Finally action b makes it 2/5
Pi is famously not a rational number, however 355/113 is a great approximation to it. Starting with 0, how many steps will it take to reach 355/113?
