Have you ever gotten a bill where the postage to send it cost the company more than just writing it off?  Yeah, me too.

But I suppose it happened one too many times to this guy.....

Answer to the total and an explanation for the non math geeks below the fold.
Hint: the equation is "0.002 + e^i∏ + (the sum from n=1 to ∞of 1/2^n)"

I doubt this was credited to his account, sadly enough.

Here's the math:

By definition, e^i∏ is -1. That comes from Euler's identity. Also, the sum from n=1 to ∞of 1/2^n, is one of the simplest geometric series, and is equal to 1.

So 0.002 + (-1) + 1 = 0.002, or 1/5 of a cent.

However, I suspect he meant 2 cents, in which case he should have written 0.02...
