Euler-Mascheroni constant?
Would Fields Medal be awarded to someone (eligible of course) who is able to prove if the Euler-Mascheroni constant is rational/irrational? If not, and it was proven to be irrational, would it be awarded if it can be proven to be algebraic/transendental?

Well, from reading a little about it, I'd say yes. Any one of those classifications would probably yield a Fields Medal. Apparently G.H. Hardy bet his Savilian Chair at Oxford that no one could prove gamma to be irrational. So this is a long standing and very difficult problem. Let us know if you do it!

i'll bet even if u dont get the fiels medal, you'd be acknowledged properly if u do prove the problem.
