Authored summary

Unresolved in this packet after the dated source check. Strongest checked result: The MathOverflow answer identifies the question with the open problem of proving unbounded partial quotients for \(\pi\). Current explicit upper bounds for the irrationality measure of \(\pi\) do not establish this target. Exact unresolved remainder: Prove that for every \(C>0\) there is a positive integer \(n\) with \(n\lvert\sin n\rvert<C\). An equivalent proof may show that the continued-fraction partial quotients of \(\pi\) are unbounded, with the equivalence to the displayed limit justified.

The record cites sources for its explanation.
