%N Decimal expansion of the series limit sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1) sum_{t=1..k} 1/(t^2*(k+1)^2).

%C Equals the alternating sum over (-1)^(k+1)*H_k^(2)/(k+1)^2, where H_k^(2) is the harmonic sum over inverse squares, H_k^(2) = sum_{t=1..k} 1/t^2 = 1, 5/4, 49/36, 205/144, 5269/3600,..., see A007406. The sum over H_k^(2)/(k+1)^2, over the absolute values, is Pi^4/120 = 0.811742425283353...
