  Ok I admit, the end was really a surprise.

  That result is famous enough for there to be a proof wiki page on it with 7 proofs. This isn&apos;t one of them. You should add it to the list.

  Did you just find the craziest way to prove that (pi^2)/6 identity?

  I admire not the result but all the patience to write and explain every step :) if you want a problem with surprising result can you consider this one : take the polynomial &nbsp;(1+x+x^2)^n , note a_n the term of degree n , find an equivalent of it when n goes to infinity :)

  Please post more content which link two entirely different maths together like this man!

  It was Jacques Hadamard (who proved the prime number theorem, along with de la Vallee Poussin) who said that the shortest path to a truth in the real domain often passes through the complex plane.

  You and Dr. Peyam are killing it with these elementary proofs of pi identities!
