Tony,

I can't find this to be true! I tried reshuffling brackets but it didn't
help, nor taking the logarithm to a different base did help, *sigh*

if the log is a natural one then the "log of the cube root of 'e'" is simply
a third, ie 1/3.

As for the limits of the integral, I'm confused. Same for the arguments to
the cosine. Is this 'cos( 3 * pi / 9 )'? ie cos(pi/3) = 1/2? and is the
integral multiplied by the cosine? or is the upper limit? ie is the upper
limit sqrt(3)/2 ?

anyway, no matter how I put the brackets and reshuffle the left side, I'm
having trouble to get it to equal a third. help!

does your 'cute-tag-line-generator' have an answer to it?

thanks for the teaser! - Moritz
