  I included the most beautiful pi in my profile pic

  Perhaps you have to be a maths geek to appreciate it - but the fact that 3 esoteric quantities (e, i and pi) can so perfectly be combined to give a result of exactly 1 is mind blowing.

  It's -1, as referenced in the Simpsons* and explained by this geeky mathematician.

  * "memorable episodes such as “Bart the Genius” and “Homer3”,  weaves in mathematical stories that explore everything from pi to Mersenne primes, from Euler’s equation to the unsolved riddle of P v. NP, from perfect numbers to narcissistic numbers, from infinity to even bigger infinities… and much more."

  It's -1

  Yes - but that's not what I wrote.

  I have a -ve sign out the front Paul.   -(-1) = +1
