contents Shanks conjectured that $ζ' (ρ)$, where $ρ$ ranges over non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, is real and positive in the mean. We present a history of this problem, including a generalisation to all higher-order derivatives $ζ^{(n)}(s)$, for which the sign of the mean alternatives between positive for odd $n$ and negative for even $n$. Furthermore, we give a simple heuristic that provides the leading term (including its sign) of the asymptotic formula for the average value of $ζ^{(n)}(ρ)$.
