A non-integer that's the same in binary and ternary after the Nth digit

[Keith F. Lynch]

I found a non-integer that has the same expansion in binary and in
ternary after the Nth digit. I'll post it in a week if nobody beats
me to it.

In other words, something that looks like:

binary: 0.0110100110010110100111...
ternary: 0.1221100110010110100111...

(Not an actual example.)

Sorry I didn't get around to posting earlier.

1/24, 3/20, 7/20, and 11/24. Also 1/2 with a non-standard
representation. Also each of these added to any integer.

0.0111111111... (in Binary) == 0.49999999... is obvious, but i wasn't familiar with:

0.1111111111... (in Base 3) == 0.49999999... == 1/2


i wish Martin Gardner were alive, so i could tell him about this !
