Question
A very difficult task that...
...not to be forgotten. It comes from the Irish MO of 1990, Paper 2, Problem 9, and, as a student-friendly problem, is one of the most difficult I've ever encountered:
Let t be a real number, and let (a with index n) a_n = 2*cos(t/(2^n)), n=1, 2, ...
Let b_n be the product a_1*a_2*...*a_n. Simplify the term b_n so that it does not contain a product of n factors, and prove lim(n-->00) b_n = (2*cos(t)+1)/3 .
