Question Rationalise recurring binary
Given a potentially recurring binary string, output the number it represents, as a fraction in lowest terms. The notation used in this challenge for recurring digits is non-standard. An `r` is used to indicate that the remaining digits recur. For example, `0.000r10` means the last 2 digits recur, ...
