This guy must not be too happy with his Verizon service...

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I knew that. Really, I swear I did.

Someone emailed the image file to me, and I just googled "pissed off engineer check verizon" to find it on the web. Or did you mean how did I get the answer? Tongue

Actually, I took a closer look at it. I thought it was e^(2*pi), but it looks like maybe it's e^(i*pi). e^(i*pi) = -1, and the summation term is equal to +1, making the total value of the check $0.002. Two tenths of a cent. That makes it even funnier.

LMAO - this reminds me of when dh (an engineer - shocker!) was in college and the phone company (another shocker) charged him $55 to switch the name on the bill when his roommate moved out. After much arguing he finally paid them. In pennies. unrolled. Which he carried down to the office personally and poured out on to the counter and left. I must mail this to him ...he will appreciate it. FWIW I am pretty sure it says e^(i* pi)

It's written for 0.02 of a cent. There was a big thing on the internet about it a while ago: http://verizonmath.blogspot.com/2006/12/verizon-doesnt-know-dollars-from-cents.html

Oh My. My grades in calculus were not good enough to take that kind of risk. I an no longer allowed to pay the pills in our house after I called the electric company and demanded my meter be recalibrated.
