Theses are not, as claimed by WM inin another post, anything like
continued fractions, so it is not clear what the finite terms are
supposed to be.
And without knowing that, no limit can possibly be determined.
Now if is just that "1/((((((10^0)/10)+10^1)/10)+10^2)/10)+" is
sufficiently ambiguous that Cauchy and Cantor disagree on what the
finite sequences are which leads to this expression, I am not at all
surprized.
