INMO 2009 Problem 2

    Define a sequence ⟨an⟩n=1∞\left\langle a_{n}\right\rangle_{n=1}^{\infty} as follows:

    an={0, if the number of positive divisors of n is odd 1, if the number of positive divisors of n is even a_{n}= \begin{cases}0, & \text { if the number of positive divisors of } n \text { is odd } \\ 1, & \text { if the number of positive divisors of } n \text { is even }\end{cases}

    (The positive divisors of nn include 1 as well as nn.) Let x=0.a1a2a3…x=0 . a_{1} a_{2} a_{3} \ldots be the real number whose decimal expansion contains ana_{n} in the nn-th place, n≥1n \geq 1. Determine, with proof, whether xx is rational or irrational.
