I want to prove $\displaystyle\sum_{k \ge 0} \Big(\frac{1}{3k+1} - \frac{1}{3k+2}\Big) = \frac{\pi}{\sqrt{27}}$
The reason for this question is I was doing the integral $\displaystyle\int_0^{\infty} \frac{1}{1-x^3}$ and I proved that this was equal to $\displaystyle\sum_{k \ge 0} \Big(\frac{1}{3k+1} - \frac{1}{3k+2}\Big)$ by proving it was equal to $\displaystyle\int_0^1 \frac{1-x}{1-x^3}$ and then using the infinite series for $\dfrac{1}{1-x}$ and swapping the order of integration and summation to get that answer.
I tried for some while to write this in closed form but to no avail. So then I checked that the answer was mysteriously $\dfrac{\pi}{\sqrt{27}}$.
So my question mainly is that given the summation answer, how would you guess and prove it was equal to $\dfrac{\pi}{\sqrt{27}}$ given that you do not have access to calculators (I would appreciate if you could also point me towards some more general methods/resources to do this kind of stuff also, because i often times calculate integrals as an infinite sum but I can not find the closed form answer...)
Thank you for your help
