This new challenge was suggested by jostpuur. It is rather number theoretic.
Assume that [itex]q\in \mathbb{Q}[/itex] is an arbitrary positive rational number. Does there exist a natural number [itex]L\in \mathbb{N}[/itex] such that
[tex]Lq=99…9900…00[/tex]
with some amounts of nines and zeros? Prove or find a counterexample.
