A little clarification here:

Define the natural number, e, and show how it is defined graphically.

I want the value of e, and I wan't you to show me how it is derived. I use the example that 2 times pi times the radius = a circle's circumference. With that we can say that pi is equal to a circle's circumference divided by twice the radius. I'd like a similar explaination for e.

How many gil do we get for winning and are there 2nd or third place prizes?

Either the best gets all 1,000 of the gil, or he surprises us with different amounts for the highest scorers.

im not gonna even try....

theyre not that hard just a royal pain in the *** to look up.

btw alpha that last question you watch history channell!

[Neraphym]

I used to, but all the programming got repetitive. I only watch their specials from time to time these days, if I'm ever even watching tv. As for the prize, I'd like the winner gets 1k gil and I guess some minor sum can be given to second, and maybe something else to third. As I no longer have the money myself, I will have to ask an admin for it. It is in their hands.
