Sorry, don't know the story about the inventor of chess....would enjoy hearing it.

on the 'powers problem:' please see Gnat's proof below. A more informal version of Gnat's argument would involve comparing the graphs of x^e and e^x (for positive x) --- these graphs intersect only once in the first quadrant, at x = e.

What is that movie where a lady mathematician has a brief affair with Michael Douglas?
