COMMENTS
Analytic Combinatorics (Flajolet and Sedgewick, 2009, p. 662) has a wrong value of this constant (2.309138593331230...).

FORMULA
Equals lim n -> infinity A006958(n)^(1/n).
1/A276994 = 0.4330619231293906645846169654189837... is the smallest positive root of the equation Sum_{n>=0} ((-1)^n * z^(n*(n+1)/2) / (Product_{k=1..n} 1-z^k)^2) = 0.
