Abstract: For $0<x<1$ let $[0,a_1(x),a_2(x),\dots]$ be the continued fraction expansion of $x$. Write

\begin{displaymath}L_N(x)=\max_{1\le n\le N}a_n(x).\end{displaymath}

We construct some numbers $x$'s with

\begin{displaymath}\lim_{N\to\infty}\inf N^{-1}L_N(x)\log\log N=1/\log 2.\end{displaymath}
