Should be $0.002, if I'm not mistaken.

e^i*pi = -1
the summation goes to 1, so
0.002 + -1 + 1 = 0.002

Not sure how they're going to cash that, but good luck.

Feel free to correct my math if I'm wrong.

Do you guys know the story that goes along with it?

Gist: Guy gets quote on long distance rate from Verizon at 0.02 cents per minute. He had it clarified and confirmed. Or so he thought. So he goes out of town, uses long distance like crazy, and then gets a bill for 100x more than he figured. They really meant 0.02 dollars, or 2 cents per minute. So there's this big dispute etc, and he sends them a check for 0.02 cents or something like that.

and the conversations lasts over an hour, with the rep still not understanding the difference.
