Let $a_n\to \infty$. Is \[\sum_{n} \frac{d(n)}{a_1\cdots a_n}\] irrational, where $d(n)$ is the number of divisors of $n$?
Erdős and Straus [ErSt71] have proved this is true if $a_n$ is monotone, i.e. $a_{n-1}\leq a_n$ for all $n$. Erdős [Er48] proved that $\sum_n \frac{d(n)}{t^n}$ is for any integer $t\geq 2$.
