You may not know, but I have an old mimeographed preprint of a paper "On
Random and Hard-to-Describe Numbers" by Charles Bennett (dated 23 may 1979)
that ends with the following paragraph:

"The author has received reliable information, from a Source who wishes to
remain anonymous, that the decimal expansion of Omega begins

Omega = 0.9999998020554253273471801908..."

Sure, but it's still < 1.0, so what good is that?
