  • Paper

Given: S=1+11+13+11+13+16+⋯+11+13+16+⋯+11993006S = 1 + \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{3}} + \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1} {6}} + \cdots + \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6} + \cdots + \frac{1} {1993006}} where the denominators contain partial sums of the sequence of reciprocals of triangular numbers (i.e. k=n(n+1)2k=\frac{n(n+1)}{2} for n=1n = 1 , 22 , …\ldots , 19961996 ). Prove that S>1001S>1001 .
