I shall go all o.O and headscratch at you and our definition of "simple" when you go write an equation which has a number that is described both as Irrational and Transcendental in it. Irrational, transcendental numbers so don't get to be grouped under the "simple" classification. (That said, you'd run into problems with many entirely non-Transcendental floating point numbers that have not yet meditated enough to reach nirvana-- but still). -- Stephen Hansen ...
