! DESCRIPTION
! -----------
! It is possible to show that the square root of two can be expressed
! as an infinite continued fraction.
! √ 2 = 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + ... ))) = 1.414213...
! By expanding this for the first four iterations, we get:
! 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 = 1.5
! 1 + 1/(2 + 1/2) = 7/5 = 1.4
! 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/2)) = 17/12 = 1.41666...
! 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/2))) = 41/29 = 1.41379...
! The next three expansions are 99/70, 239/169, and 577/408, but the
! eighth expansion, 1393/985, is the first example where the number of
! digits in the numerator exceeds the number of digits in the
! denominator.
! In the first one-thousand expansions, how many fractions contain a
! numerator with more digits than denominator?
