I love this entry from failblog.org! I want to know:
a. What happened before this check was sent (with a cell phone company I can only imagine)
b. What the backlash was
But it made me smile. I'm sure the poor sap that opened the envelope was really confused!

They may have to hire a mathematician to figure it out, but he did pay. (LOL)
Did any of you know how to solve this problem? I sure didn't. Wonder if Poots knew how? Where is Poots anyway?
e^(2pie) = 535.491
the limit of (1/2^n) as n goes to infinity is = 1
So 0.002 + 535.491 + 1 = 536.49 dollars and cents
mmmmm - pie - drooooool
OT -
Schteveo - It seems I remember you being a fan of "Ice Road Truckers":

Two members of a History Channel crew working on a new season of "Ice Road Truckers" were seriously injured when their pickup crashed into a semi during a blizzard on a remote Alaska highway.
…
The pickup smashed into a Carlyle Trucking tanker Thursday on the Dalton Highway about 22 miles south of Prudhoe Bay, the largest oil field in North America, according to North Slope Borough police.
…
The Dalton Highway is a mostly gravel road used by suppliers to haul gear and supplies to North Slope oil fields.
…
North Slope Borough Police Lt. Jeff Brown said the crash occurred Thursday morning. Winds were blowing at 70 mph and visibility was near zero, he said.
…
"It appears (the rig) may have been stopped in the roadway, because the weather was so bad," Brown said. Drifting snow made it almost impossible to see, he said.
…
It took police almost three hours to drive 10 miles to reach the accident scene, Brown said.

This gives me the shivers thinking about it. I've been on that stretch of road, and I've been in Prudhoe during white-out conditions. In 1984 we (the company I worked for) lost two members of a suvey crew to a head-on collision with a snow plow very near there.
FYI - The stopped trucker was following the rules of the road for white-outs. You stop until you can see.
Well Blue. I don't know about that since the explanation was on the website. :-)
