Abstract
We prove that for every sufficiently large integer 
$n$, the polynomial 
$1+x+x^{2}/11+x^{3}/111+\cdots +x^{n}/111\ldots 1$ is irreducible over the rationals, where the coefficient of 
$x^{k}$ for 
$1\leqslant k\leqslant n$ is the reciprocal of the decimal number consisting of 
$k$ digits which are each 
$1$. Similar results following from the same techniques are discussed.
