You're halfway to fifty! KF

And I may as well add... I'm 21 now. I've had a few alcoholic drinks in restaurants, but so far I haven't been particularly impressed. The best was some Italian Ice... but that just made me cringe.

Ah, I do like the integral you give. For non-calculation, there's e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0, Euler's toy. There's also the power series expansions that use it, though they're far too unwieldy (and the integral expresses that far more concisely).
