8. A General Constant Recognition Procedure
In all of the cases mentioned above, the authors of the respective
studies had ``hunches'' beforehand as to what form the resulting
formulas might take. Frankly, some insight of sort is invaluable in
avoiding what otherwise is an exponential explosion in the number of
possible terms. It simply is not possible to perform integer relation
searches with every conceivable term. In fact, if the constant is
known to only limited precision, the number of terms that can be
considered in an integer relation search may be limited to a handful.
