Let $a_n$ be an infinite sequence of positive integers such that $\sum \frac{1}{a_n}$ converges. There exists some integer $t\geq 1$ such that \[\sum \frac{1}{a_n+t}\] is irrational.
This conjecture is due to Stolarsky.

A negative answer was proved by Kovač and Tao [KoTa24], who proved even more: there exists a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers $a_n$ such that \[\sum \frac{1}{a_n+t}\] converges to a rational number for every $t\in \mathbb{Q}$ (with $t\neq -a_n$ for all $n$).
