Puzzle Description:
The letter "A" hosts a party with all the other letters. All have fun, laugh, dance and drink. But the letter "e"stands in a corner without speaking to anyone. The letter "g" comes over and says: Come on, integrate! And the letter "e" answers: Why? It is the same

Angle theta was sunbathing. Her prudish cosine thought she was improper but she said there is no sin in getting a tan.#4: Avgvstvs (Avgvstvs) on May 23, 2011 [HINT]

line logic gets you nearly halfway done
simple contradiction logic lets you fill in the last 2 pixels on the right half (the 2 remaining pixels from c16/17 both cant both go in r2 so at least one of them has to go in r4 which means they both have to go in r4) and now you are halfway done
the 1 clue from c3 must either go in r1 or r10 (if you have correctly placed dots via line logic in c2-9) which means one of the 3 clues from r1 and r10 must go to the right into c5 which has only a 1 clue in it
this means you can place dots in r2-9 of c5 (some of which will have already been placed) followed by more line logic to finish
nice solve

If the integral of e = e, and e = mc squared, does the integral of e = mc squared? Yeesh, I'm getting a headache!#9: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on May 24, 2011 [SPOILER]
All e's are not created equal. The capital E in Einstein's famous equation is energy. Whereas the lower case e in mathematics is the inverse of natural logorithms and is usually written as e^x (e to the x). Confused yet?#10: Teresa K (fasstar) on May 25, 2011
Actually, that helps a great deal. Thanks, Brian.#11: Gator (gator) on Jun 1, 2011 [HINT]

Found to be logically solvable by gator.#13: Bassetbaa (Bassetbaa) on Oct 23, 2011
Is it sad that I actually laughed out loud when I read the description? I guess that just shows how much of a math nerd I am. haha I did love my calc class.#14: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Apr 28, 2014 [HINT]

I was always taught that since e is a constant, the integral of e is ex+c. Even if you assume it is e**x, you still need to add c.
