%C A118582 "The series [see title] converges to 38.43... so slowly that it requires 10^(3.14*10^86) terms to give two-decimal accuracy"
%C A118582 example 16 - "The series Sum_{k=3..inf} 1/(k log k (log log k)) diverges, but the partial sums exceed 10 only after a googolplex of terms have appeared"
