Define \(T_r= \sum_{r\not\in k}1/k\) to denote the series in which each term \(1/k\), where \(r\) occurs as a digit of \(k\), is deleted. The author shows that, for any base \(b\), if \(1\leq m<n<b\), then \(T_m< T_n\) and \(T_0> T_r\) for \(1\leq r< b\). The first inequality answers an open question of \textit{G. H. Behforooz} [Math. Mag. 68, No. 4, 289-293 (1995; Zbl 0859.40003)].
