In case you are wondering, that works out to $536.49.

Wait, is it really 536.49?

Google turns up: http://xkcd.com/verizon/

After reading that, and checking on the link below, I think it's supposed to be .002 dollars, which is what the whole episode is about.

I guess the question comes down to whether is is e to the 2*pi or e to the i*pi. It looked like 2*pi to me, but you are right. It is probably i*pi. Which makes more sense. Why pay that much?
