Erdős Problem #264 — Let ana_n be a sequence of positive integers such that for every bounded sequence of integers bnb_n (with an+bn≠0a_n+b_n\neq 0 and bn≠0b_n\neq 0 for all nn) the sum ∑1an+bn\sum \frac{1}{a_n+b_n} is irrational.

Let ana_n be a sequence of positive integers such that for every bounded sequence of integers bnb_n (with an+bn≠0a_n+b_n\neq 0 and bn≠0b_n\neq 0 for all nn) the sum ∑1an+bn\sum \frac{1}{a_n+b_n} is irrational. Are an=2na_n=2^n or an=n!a_n=n! examples of such a sequence?
