The problem considered is that of approximating irrationals α by rationals p/q where p and q avoid certain congruence classes mod 2k for certain integers k. Results are obtained which give close bounds on a number c such that |α - p/q| < c/q2 has infinitely many solutions where p and q can be expressed as the sum of three squares.
