Did the same! Nice! BTW, is there any way to guess about the natural logarithm(it took me a lot of time to work out where this - ∑ n = 1 ∞ n ∗ 2 n 1 will converge and then finally I had to cheat:( )

If you can @brian charlesworth , please prove it too( which you have used as a fact).

We know that 1 − x 1 = n = 0 ∑ ∞ x n
Integrating both sides we get :
− l n ( 1 − x ) + C = n = 0 ∑ ∞ n + 1 x n + 1
Put x = 0 to get C = 0
Hence − l n ( 1 − x ) = n = 1 ∑ ∞ n x n
Put x = 2 1 , to get the desired result.

Note first that n ( n + 2 ) n + 1 = 2 1 ∗ ( n 1 + n + 2 1 ) .
The sum can then be written as
n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( 2 n + 4 1 ) ∗ ( n 1 + n + 2 1 ) =
( 1 6 1 ) ∗ n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ∗ 2 n 1 + ( 4 1 ) ∗ n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( n + 2 ) ∗ 2 n + 2 1 =
( 1 6 1 ) ∗ n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ∗ 2 n 1 + ( 4 1 ) ∗ ( n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ∗ 2 n 1 − 1 ∗ 2 1 1 − 2 ∗ 2 2 1 ) =
( 1 6 5 ) ∗ n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ∗ 2 n 1 − 3 2 5 =
( 3 2 5 ) ∗ ( 2 ln ( 2 ) − 1 ) = 0 . 0 6 0 3 5 8 4 9 3 9 . . . . . ,
where I used the fact that n = 1 ∑ ∞ n ∗ 2 n 1 = ln ( 2 ) , (equation ( 1 9 ) here ).
